A Midsummer Night's Dream ballet

Experience Timeless Classical Ballet with TicketPurchase.com

Performance Information

Few ballets translate literary magic into movement as elegantly as A Midsummer Night's Dream. This two-act ballet was created by George Balanchine and premiered on January 17, 1962, with New York City Ballet at the City Center of Music and Drama in New York City. Inspired by William Shakespeare’s comedy, the ballet builds its score around Felix Mendelssohn’s music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream—including incidental music and related works.

A widely performed 20th-century full-length story ballet in the neoclassical tradition, Balanchine’s version is known for keeping the tone light and comedic while delivering big classical dancing. It’s regularly revived in repertory and performed seasonally by multiple companies, standing as a major story-ballet offering that fits beautifully within a full season lineup.

Musically, audiences get the instantly recognizable sweep of Mendelssohn—anchored by the Overture and the celebratory Wedding March. Onstage, Balanchine’s choreography blends his signature neoclassical clarity—fast footwork, clean lines, and musical precision—with theatrical storytelling and character-based dancing that distinguishes the courtly world, the comic rustics, and the fairies.

Story & Artistic Elements

In mythic Athens and an enchanted forest, two young couples are thrown into romantic confusion when mischievous fairy magic interferes with their affections. As the fairy rulers quarrel and a group of rustic “mechanicals” prepare entertainment, spells misfire, identities blur, and harmony returns in time for a joyful wedding celebration. Principal roles include Oberon, Titania, Puck, Helena, and Hermia (with Lysander, Demetrius, and Bottom also commonly featured).

The ballet’s most anticipated moments pair Mendelssohn’s beloved music with vivid stage storytelling—especially the iconic Overture setting the atmosphere and the Wedding March driving the celebration. You’ll also see fleet, comic Puck-centered sequences, lush fairy ensemble passages that build a “forest” world onstage, and an Act II wedding celebration with divertissement-like highlights and ceremonial classical dancing.
