Brittens »Sommernachtstraum« steht repräsentativ für das, was Theater macht. Britten interpretiert Shakespeare, der Ovid interpretiert, der die griechische Mythologie interpretiert. Seine Oper nimmt uns mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise voller Aussichten, wechselnder Durchblicke, toller Paradoxien. Oder in Shakespeares Worten: »Ein kurz langweil'ger Akt spaßhafter Tragödie.« Es ist ein Theater des Absurden, das uns tiefe Einblicke ins Leben tun lässt.

»Dieses Stück ist ein Fest. Es feiert das Publikum, das das Theater feiert, das das Denken feiert, das die Reflexion feiert. Dabei persifliert es aufs brillanteste uns alle, stellt uns in Frage, wirft uns auf uns selbst zurück, versichert uns, dass die Welt gut sein könnte. Vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton übertrifft es alle meine Erwartungen. Es erinnert uns daran, warum wir ein Opernhaus betreten, drei Stunden gemeinsam in einem Zuschauerraum verbringen, warum das einzigartig ist und dem so nah wie möglich kommt, was ich als göttlich bezeichnen würde.«

Britten's »A Midsummer Night's Dream« is representative of what theater does. Britten interprets Shakespeare interpreting Ovid interpreting Greek mythology. His opera takes us on a journey of discovery full of perspectives, changing perspectives, great paradoxes. Or in Shakespeare's words: »A short, boring act of amusing tragedy.« It is a theater of the absurd that gives us deep insights into life.

“This play is a celebration. It celebrates the audience, which celebrates the theatre, which celebrates thought, which celebrates reflection. In doing so, it brilliantly satirizes us all, questions us, throws us back on ourselves, reassures us that the world could be good. From the first note to the last, it exceeds all my expectations. It reminds us why we walk into an opera house, spend three hours together in an auditorium, why this is unique and as close as possible to what I would call divine.
