| Description |
The Fairy Queen is based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, so we have Titania, Helena, Oberon, Puck and Bottom, disguises, mistaken identities, jealous spouses as well as dreams and magic potions. But Purcell does not use any of Shakespeare's words, rejecting them in favour of an anonymous librettist. |
