The Enchanted Island,
a pastiche of Shakespeare’s The Tempest
and A Midsummer Night’s Dream with music
by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau and others, may not look like such a great idea on
paper. But when you factor in some A+ list singers, a superstar conductor,
spectacular staging and a clever libretto (setting new words to the old arias
and recitatives), you have the makings of an enchanted evening.
