Moon Fool’s Titania

Saturday 15th Jun, 7:30 pm

Titania is an innovative re-imagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this engaging, amusing and participatory production, our much-loved Queen of the Night plays out events from her past, hosting nightly revels in an attempt to woo audiences off the path and back into the woods. A heady fusion of original music and vocal acrobatics, Titania is the Queen of the Faeries' tale with an amplified twist (and don't expect conventional Shakespeare) – a solo musical cabaret from the talented Anna-Helena McLean – exotic, delightful, and brilliant.

"… reconfiguring of Shakespeare plays like jazz variations, beautifully orchestrated." The Observer

Scottish Chamber Orchestra

SCHUBERT 5 German Dances with Coda and 7 Trios

MOZART Sinfonia Concertante for Winds K297b

BEETHOVEN Romance in F for Violin & Orchestra
