Last heard at the Proms in 1977, The Midsummer
Marriage is Tippett’s answer to Mozart’s The Magic
Flute, an opera rich in symbolism and psychology,
trials and transformations. Paul Groves and Erin
Wall are Mark and Jenifer, Ailish Tynan and Allan
Clayton, Bella and Jack, two couples tested by a
series of supernatural interventions on the shortest
night of the year. One of today’s leading Tippett
exponents, Sir Andrew
Davis conducts the
centrepiece of this summer’s
Proms focus on Tippett’s
music alongside Britten’s
centenary.Tickets £9.50 - £46.
