New York City Ballet: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream is dance maker and company co-founder George Balanchine's first original evening-length ballet. Based on William Shakespeare's cherished comedy and set to music by Felix Mendelssohn, Balanchine's two-act version is dance storytelling at its finest, portraying the adventures and misadventures of three couples in an enchanted forest. Featuring radiant choreography, bravura performances, and talented young student dancers as swarms of dancing insects, A Midsummer Night's Dream culminates in a grand wedding celebration and a tender pas de deux that ranks among the most moving in ballet.
