4/20, Thursday, 7:30.
An elaborate production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at PNB.
Multiple fanciful screens made for the stage sets, quite efficient.
Almost 100 people on the stage sometimes (including 20 some little bees), must be a nightmare to coordinate.
Quite funny at times, with the 2 confused couple, and the donkey.
Mendelssohn's music, always pleasing.
However, I dozed off in the 2nd act: a consequence of trying to get up early.
