Audience s were flocking to new Shakespeare adaptations\, and if you can’t beat t hem\, join them!\nWith “words taken from Shakespeare” and his play-wit hin-a-play from A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, Lampe’s Pyramus &\; Thi sbe expands the emotional range of the original to include heart-rending l yricism between the episodes of typically English silliness. Drawing on th e rich tradition of the English masque\, the production weaves in music an d dance from Purcell’s The Fairy Queen\, bringing an enchanting world of poetry and theatrical wonder to Lampe’s delightful parody.\nFalling in love through a crack in a wall\, ill-fated Pyramus and Thisbe plan a moonl it rendezvous in the shade of a mulberry tree\, before a ferocious lion ge ts in the way and a tragedy of misunderstandings ensues. Vibrant staging\, lavish costumes\, and gorgeous Baroque dance bring this satirical romp to life with an all-star cast of singers\, dancers\, and instrumentalists in this new production led by Musical Directors Stephen Stubbsand Paul O’D ette\, Stage Director and Choreographer Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière\, and Concertmaster Robert Mealy.\nPRE-OPERA TALKS: Join us one hour before each performance in Boston for an engaging talk featuring celebrated author an d musicologist Ellen T.
