Cancelled: A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the San Francisco Ballet


  • War Memorial Opera House 301 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA, 94102 United States (map)

A JOYFUL MASTERPIECE

Enter Shakespeare’s enchanted forest of whimsy, mistaken identity, and jest—where fairies rule and love (eventually) reigns supreme. This Shakespearean favorite returns triumphantly to San Francisco after a nearly 35-year absence. Created in 1962 to music by Felix Mendelssohn, A Midsummer Night’s Dream was George Balanchine’s first original full-length ballet and quickly hailed as a masterpiece—think adventures and misadventures, mischief and magic, woodland creatures and fairyland foibles. Beautiful costume and set designs by Martin Pakledinaz and radiant, magical choreography make this ballet a delight for all ages.
