Enjoy a fully staged production of Britten’s masterpiece based on Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identities, angst-ridden lovers, and surprising transformations, all in the intimate setting of the 400-seat Wheeler Opera House.  

Simon Godwin, the artist director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., and previously associate director of London's National Theatre, takes a side-step from theater proper to bring his deep knowledge of the Bard to directing this production of this much-loved fantastical tale.

See tomorrow’s opera stars from the Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS program in leading roles, accompanied by a full orchestra conducted by the brilliant Dame Jane Glover—a mentee of Britten himself—joined by the Colorado Children’s Chorale from Denver, as well as American counternenor Anthony Roth Costanzo. Don’t miss this delightful romp!

The opera will also be performed on July 20 at 7pm.
