Piano.vocal - A Midsummer Night's Dream - With piano.vocal, Anne Schmidt-Heinrich and Carsten Dittrich

Shakespeare and pop music? Absolutely. Tens of thousands of visitors over the years can hardly be wrong. So - da capo, please. Piano.vocal, cellist Anne Schmidt-Heinrich and actor Carsten Dittrich serve up their Midsummer Night's Dream.

Their production is staged as a scenic reading at the crossroads of theatre, poetry and music. Carsten Dittrich moves with wholehearted commitment through the roles from Oberon to Puck, while the three musicians complement his performance as a delicate counterpoint spanning classical and pop. Simply worth seeing.

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." It is not only these and similar linguistic high points that keep Shakespeare's work as relevant as ever. Confusion and chaos on every level of the play, mischievous fairy couples, and the ever-present theme of love's winding paths - all these elements have survived the centuries in a fairy-tale, mythical and thoroughly entertaining way. Let us dream our way through another wonderful summer night together!
