Enter the enchanted land of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a lush forest besieged by quixotic love triangles and feuding fairy kingdoms, awash with magic at every turn.A perennial fan-favorite since its performance at SPAC’s grand opening in July 1966, New York City Ballet’s beloved story ballet A Midsummer Night’s Dream returns to mark 60 years of world-class dance and unforgettable summer traditions.
A full-length adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most cherished comedies, and inspired by the music of Mendelssohn, Balanchine captures the play’s infinite colors: the bumbling comedy of the Rude Mechanicals, the feisty feuding between Titania and Oberon, the romantic confusion of the young lovers chasing each other through the Athenian forest, and of course the mischief-making Puck — in a ballet of myriad pleasures.
Featuring a large cast of children from the Capital Region, A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the first wholly original full-length ballet Balanchine choreographed in America and is one of the most popular ballets in NYCB’s repertoire.
