Sueño de una noche de verano - William Shakespeare - Midnight summer night´s dream
Felix Mendelssohn escribió una obertura y otras piezas musicales inspirado en esta obra que se utilizaron como acompañamiento musical de la obra a lo largo del siglo XIX. Ya en el siglo XX, en 1960, Benjamin Britten compuso una ópera sobre el mismo tema con libreto del propio Britten y del tenor Peter Pears. La obra teatral ha sido adaptada en numerosas ocasiones al cine y su influencia ha sido notable en la cultura anglosajona.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play by William Shakespeare. Believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596, it portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta.
These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group
of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies
who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play,
categorized as a Comedy, is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for
the stage and is widely performed across the world.
