The Fairy Queen

Purcell’s masque, first performed in 1692, is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream. The original score was lost after Purcell’s death and not rediscovered in the early twentieth century. It debuted at Glyndebourne in 2009 to critical acclaim.

The 2009 production of The Fairy Queen is available to watch on-demand by subscribing to Glyndebourne Encore - our streaming service.
