    I didn't meen to put this production down in any way, but look at the stage here, isn't it a bit "unordentlish" - the plot is rather strange - The drunken poet is of course dirty! - and in modern language I think you could call it dirty when the fairy queen is spending the night with a donkey, even if she is under a spell... Perhaps I should borrow your favorite version from my library ;-)

  • Oh yeah, is the dance as its original being?

  • @Ennah08: If you translate "messy" into German you get "unordentlich

    schmutzig, dreckig, schmuddelig" (to be translated back into: "messy, dirty, dirty, grubby". I do not think I would agree ;-)

    My favorite version: Bonney, Von Magnus, McNair &c. Arnold Schönberg Chor, Concertus musicus Wien, by Nicholas Harnoncourt.

  • Ennah08 Thank you! What a good news! And christmas is getting close... :)

  • @Ennah08 Thank you! That's a great news! Christmas is close... :)

  • @Rusdie77 There is a DVD! A production from 1995, reissued in 2009.I watched it and loved most of it. "English National Opera" with Thomas Randle and Yvonne Kenny among others. The opera as a whole is rather messy but it is VERY charming, I think!!!

  • i have to know it almost all for my music exam, this is the best version out of all them!

  • Do you know anything about this performance? Company? Orchestra? Theatre? Actors? Etc.?

    It's really great!
