Are both A Midsummer Night's Dream and La sonnambula operas?
La sonnambula La sonnambula ("The Sleepwalker") is an opera semiseria in two acts, with music in the "bel canto" tradition by Vincenzo Bellini set to an Italian libretto by Felice Romani, based on a scenario for a "ballet-pantomime" written by Eugène Scribe and choreographed by Jean-Pierre Aumer called "La somnambule, ou L'arrivée d'un nouveau seigneur". The ballet had premiered in Paris in September 1827 at the height of a fashion for stage works incorporating somnambulism.
The Magic Flute (musical) The Magic Flute (Impempe Yomlingo) is a musical theatre work adapted from the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart opera of the same title by Mark Dornford-May, with words and music by Mandisi Dyantyis, Mbali Kgosidintsi, Pauline Malefane and Nolufefe Mtshabe. Mozart's score is transposed for an orchestra of marimbas, drums and township percussion. The musical, set in contemporary South Africa, re-interprets the story from a South African perspective, telling of Prince Tamino's quest to rescue Pamina (both of them are Xhosa-speaking teenagers), daughter of the Queen of the Night, from the Priest of the Sun.
