Resumen

Situada en la interfaz de la literatura, teatro, música y artes visuales, la performance operística está caracterizada por la fusión de especificidades de diversas formas del arte. Este ensayo reflexiona sobre el libreto y la partitura de El sueño de uma noche de Verano (1960), ópera de cámara de Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), compuesta a partir del texto homónimo (1595-1596) de Shakespeare, y analiza la adaptación operística de 1981 presentada en Glyndebourne, dirigida por el renombrado director de teatro y régisseur Peter Hall (1930-2017). Los diálogos intermediáticos entre Shakespeare, Britten y Hall van a ser investigados bajo la luz de las consideraciones teóricas de Linda y Michael Hutcheon, Claus Clüver, Jorge Coli, Freda Chapple entre otros.
