A New Midsummer Night From The Golden State Ballet

Shakespeare's tale of warring fairy royalty turns the Balboa Theater into an enchanted wood in Artistic Director Raúl Salamanca's luminous production. A vibrant and playful tale first penned between 1594 and 1596, A Midsummer Night's Dream details one night in a magical forest, where a group of unsuspecting mortals stumbles into a row between the fairy King and Queen - with suitably silly results!

Shakespeare's Classic

Enter a realm of myth, magic, mischief, and mistaken identity, where fairies rule and love eventually prevails. Two sets of lovers become entangled in a lovers' spat between King Oberon and Queen Titania, the woodland rulers. Throw into the mix the naughty sprite Puck and a group of hapless mechanicals, and you've got a recipe for old-school comedy gold.
