MSO: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Overview

A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s a pretty weird and wonderful story. Puck was the best. Right? Anyway, not the point. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra also think it’s pretty wonderful and are performing it at the Melbourne Town Hall.

Nicholas Carter will conduct as the MSO present this orchestral favourite that has been described as ‘Blue sky in A major’. That sounds pretty good to us. Diana Doherty will also solo in Richard Strauss’ autumnal oboe concerto.

Brought to us by the musical wonder, Mendelssohn – who composed the overture when he was just 16 – this is one for the classical music lovers (and those who still believe in fairies).
