Miami City Ballet Presents Season Grand Finale: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Miami City Ballet (MCB) closes its 2018/19 season with the return of one of the Company's most extraordinary productions, the reimagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Balanchine's captivating story ballet based on William Shakespeare's timeless tale of love, magic, reality and illusion. Miami City Ballet will perform the legendary ballet in Miami at the Adrienne Arsht Center March 29-31; at in West Palm Beach at the Kravis Center April 5-7; and at the Broward Center April 13-14.
Miami City Ballet's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream transports audiences to the ocean floor, a perspective that's uniquely Floridian, through the creative collaboration of two internationally acclaimed artists: Michele Oka Doner's ravishing costumes and sets, and Wendall Harrington's innovative projection designs. Set to live Mendelssohn music (including the immortal Wedding March), this unforgettable oceanic spectacle features an impressive fairytale cast of 24 children, six vocalists and the breathtaking Miami City Ballet dancers.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is an underwater fantasy of magically entangled lovers, fairy royalty, magic spells, and happily-ever-afters in Shakespeare's timeless tale of love. It's a dazzling spectacle for families and audiences of all ages.
