Peter Hall’s production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a longstanding Glyndebourne favourite and makes a much-anticipated return for Festival 2023.
In our latest short film, opera expert Alexandra Coghlan meets design historian Dr Ella Hawkins for a close up look at some of the production’s elaborate Elizabethan style costumes. Meanwhile, baritone Brandon Cedel comes face-to-face with the donkey head that he’ll be wearing during the production, and demonstrates what it’s like to sing while your whole head is completely enclosed.
