A Midsummer Night's Dream

January 23 - February 6, 2009 Brown Theater, Wortham Theater Center Purchase Tickets Online at www.HoustonGrandOpera.org The course of true love never did run smooth... The king and queen of the fairies are feuding, two mortal couples break up and make up thanks (or no thanks!) to the juice of a magic flower, and the Duke of Athens is getting ready to wed the Queen of the Amazons—there’s a whole lot going on in the forest just outside Athens! Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, based on Shakespeare's play, opens January 23.
