'Midsummer casts a springy spell.' — The Philadelphia Inquirer
Visit the vibrant, mystical fantasy of George Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Set to Felix Mendelssohn's lush score, this enchanting ballet brings William Shakespeare's classic comedy to life. The hilarious tale follows the adventures and misadventures of a group of mortals and immortals in their quest for love. More than 20 child dancers from our new school will fill the forest as fireflies and fairies. A choir adds to the magic of this elaborate production, fit for all ages!
