A fanciful tale of love’s delusions and mishaps, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream seems almost tailor-made for ballet. From the spritely fairy kingdom to the whirling lovers and a star-lit wedding, George Balanchine’s adaptation of this classic tale would certainly be bard-approved. The Seattle Times calls PNB’s world-renowned production “a joy on every level.” Mendelssohn’s lush music combines with iconic storytelling and choreography to produce what dance writer Anita Finkel called “possibly the greatest narrative ballet of all time.”
