Midsummer: A Shakespearean Dream in the Heart of Verona

From July 16th to 19th, 2026, the Estate Teatrale Veronese welcomes one of Casa Shakespeare’s most original productions: MIDSUMMER. Sogno di un gioco di mezza estate. The setting is the evocative Cloister of Juliet’s Tomb, located within the Museo degli Affreschi, a place that resonates with history and poetry in the heart of Verona.

The performance represents a bold artistic challenge: condensing the complexity of the Bard’s work into just three actors. Through a tapestry of lost lovers, magical creatures, and amateur actors, the play explores theater as a space for transformation and play. Directed by Solimano Pontarollo, the production blends Shakespearean English with the vitality of Italian dialects, offering a bilingual performance that bridges linguistic divides.

This event is part of the 14th Juliet Summer Festival and the Shakespeare 2026 program, reaffirming Casa Shakespeare’s dedication to making the playwright’s work accessible and vibrant. It is an invitation to rediscover the magic of theater in one of the world’s most beloved cities, where every stone tells an eternal story.
