Throughout the centuries, composers have been influenced and inspired by Shakespeare’s work. What Dreams May Come is a new studio piece drawing on hundreds of years of music inspired by and adapted from Shakespeare’s plays and poetry to depict the joys and sorrows of a long life, well-lived.

Mixing puppetry with music by Purcell, Gerald Finzi and more performed by a chamber ensemble, this new production explores the timeless appeal of Shakespeare’s words and characters for composers and audiences throughout history.

Valentina Ceschi, whose past work for ETO includes Il viaggio a Reims from 2023, The Great Stink and our film for families, The Firebird, returns to direct.
