Benjamin Britten and Baz Luhrmann's version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was created for Opera Australia, and by all accounts is outlandish, but quite amazing. This video is a taste of the production, and it really allows you to open your mind to something far more than the standard Elizabethan performance. Not just are the visuals, the light, sounds, make-up, costumes and sets, out there, but the sound of it all puts you in another place. If you can watch this performance in it's entirety, I would wholly recommend doing so.
