A masterpiece of the 'semi-opera'. On the strenght of the immense success of Dido & Aeneas and King Arthur, in 1692 Purcell went on to produce The Fairy Queen, based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer-Night's Dream. The work is, in fact a 'semi-opéra', or 'opera with dialogue', in which only some of the crucial scenes are provided with music. But this version of A Midsummer-Night's Dream by the 'Orpheus Britannicus' became almost as famous as the play that inspire dit, with its love scenes, its supernatural scenes and its innate sense of musical humour investing it with an irresistible savour and enchantment.
Un chef-d'œuvre du « semi-opéra ». Fort du succès immense qu'avaient connu Dido & Aeneas et King Arthur, Purcell porta à la scène en 1692 le fameux Songe d'une nuit d'été de Shakespeare sous ce nouveau titre de The Fairy Queen (La Reine des fées). Il s'agit en fait d'un « semi-opéra » ou opéra à dialogues », la musique n'intervenant qu'à l'occasion de scènes particulières. Mais c'est ainsi que ce Songe d'une nuit d'été visité par « l'Orphée anglais » devint quasiment aussi célèbre que la pièce qui lui avait donné naissance : scènes d'amour, scènes surnaturelles et un sens inné de l'humour musical confèrent à cette savoureuse imbrication théâtrale un parfum irrésistible.
