Additional Information

“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream captures the lightness of Shakespeare’s fairies with quick, clever melodies as they meddle in mortal affairs. Meanwhile, Prokofiev’s militant take on the Montagues and Capulets provides an exquisite contrast to the lushness of his love theme for Romeo and Juliet. Don’t miss this special weekend of musical drama and intrigue when members of the Dallas Theater Center join the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra to bring the world of The Bard to life.
