About This Event

Narcissus, the Thespian hunter who fell in love with his own image, inspired Matthias Pintscher to compose his own reflection on 鈥榯he interaction of different groups and their mirror images鈥�, a work for cello and orchestra. Pintscher conducts Reflections on Narcissus here before a semi-staged performance of Mendelssohn鈥檚 incidental music to A Midsummer Night鈥檚 Dream.

Mendelssohn鈥檚 delicate, mercurial and strident music is interspersed with excerpts from Shakespeare鈥檚 text to form a centrepiece of this season鈥檚 celebrations of Shakespeare鈥檚 400th anniversary.
