Jonathan Kent's dazzling 2009 production of Purcell's operatic version of 'A Midsummer's Night's Dream'. The first production of Purcell's great 'semi-opera' famously bankrupted London's Dorset Gardens Theatre back in 1692 with its elaborate stage effects. These included giant fountains and swans gliding over lakes. Jonathan Kent's lavish 2009 Glyndebourne production, created in collaboration with designer Paul Brown, was no less breathtaking - but fortunately much more financially successful! Ribald, witty and magical, it's a feast of spectacular costumes and flamboyant cross-dressing with a flying horse and a warren full of rampant rabbits. The cast includes Lucy Crowe, Claire Debono and Carolyn Sampson, while William Christie conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with style and gusto. The Daily Telegraph called it "an absolute riot, but executed with taste and style" while The Observer said "it is hard to imagine a more brilliantly creative approach to the work." Cert: PG Running time: 250 minutes http://twitter.com/cineworld - Follow us here http://www.facebook.com/cineworld - Become a fan here
