Movie Reviews of Britten - A Midsummer Night's Dream / Daniels, Sala, Gietz, Dazeley, Meek, Hahn, Waddington, Rigby, Vas, Bicket, Barcelona Opera
Movie Review: Wonderful!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful and charming performance from each and every point of view.
The pervious reviewer remark about this not being the entire opera is nonsense.
This is the entire Britten opera, but Britten did not compose the first act of the Shakespeare play, and his enchanting opera opens in the magic wood...
Highly recommended!
