Deep in the forest the fairies are stirring. As Benjamin Britten's enchanting music slips seductively out of the orchestra pit, discover a place where Indian gods, British colonials and rustic clowns collide, collude and sometimes fall in love.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is back. This was the production that showed the world the boundless imaginations of director Baz Luhrmann and designer Catherine Martin. Inspired by the words of Shakespeare and Britten's magical score, they cast a spell to create one of Opera Australia's most celebrated productions, ever. Australian conductor Alexander Briger is on the bandstand, while Tobias Cole and Rachelle Durkin play the King and Queen of the Fairies.

Meanwhile Tyler Coppin and Conal Coad reprise their unforgettable performances of Puck and Bottom.
