Rachel Howard reviews the only performance of SFB's Midsummer Night's Dream

[pherank]

Due to forced closure of the War Memorial Opera House over the spreading Coronavirus, SFB was able to present only a single performance of Balachine's Midsummer Night's Dream. Rachel Howard was one of the lucky few to have seen it:

"If we must risk our health to gather in groups, fearful some of us might spread or contract a monstrous new virus, let it be for this: Gathering in the War Memorial Opera House, watching Yuan Yuan Tan dance as Queen Titania as the orchestra soars through a passage of Mendelssohn and a sweet soprano voice trills from the pit."
