George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Miami City Ballet kicks off their 2024-2025 season with a reimagined production of George Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream, presented at the Arsht Center from October 18-20.

This innovative production takes Shakespeare's classic tale of lovestruck fairies and Athenian mortals and transports them to an underwater world along the Florida coast. Michele Oka Doner’s transformative costumes and sets reimagine the kingdom of magical fairies as a floating motif of coral and seagrass, populated by manatees, seahorses and other underwater life, capturing the essence of South Florida’s marine ecosystems. Mendelssohn’s score complements the playful choreography, bringing to life the mischievous antics of Puck, the tangled love affairs and the bickering fairy royalty, Titania and Oberon. Witness Miami City Ballet dancers bring this whimsical underwater spectacle to life with their technical prowess.
