I can scarcely believe my luck this summer: first kd lang, then Aretha, now Dame Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons with conductor Lorin Maazel. The latter three appeared in a joint evening of Shakespeare in music and words at the BlackCreek Summer Music Festival under the stars. Mirren and Irons performed a mini-version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream integrated in and around Maazel’s glorious conducting of Felix Mendelssohn’s music with the dynamic and youthful Castleton Orchestra and Chorus. A knockout!
