Description: The history of Puck in literature and the sources of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream are confronted with their musical settings by Benjamin Britten, Victor Vreuls, Marcel Delannoy et René Gerber. Then, the four librettos are compared to the play. The analysis of the character in the operas leads to converging and diverging options in the four musical settings of the original play.
