Mozart, Mendelssohn and A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Mendelssohn’s enchanting music in an exciting semi-staged production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece together with Mozart’s famed Clarinet Concerto performed by Anthony McGill.
Mendelssohn’s enchanting music in an exciting, modern semi-staged production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Mozart’s famous Clarinet Concerto and for the first time at the Proms, a work by much overlooked romantic composer Mel Bonis.
Bonis’s Salomé kicks off the concert - a musical portrayal of the biblical figure, full of sensual and mysterious sounds. Then, American clarinettist Anthony McGill performs Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, one of his most popular works.
The Prom culminates in Mendelssohn’s magical musical retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream brought to life on the Royal Albert Hall stage with readings by actors from Shakespeare’s beloved comedy.
