Rochester City Ballet will make its triumphant and long-awaited return to Live-in Person performances by mounting a fully produced staging of Artistic Director Robert Gardner’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This coming Memorial Day weekend, fall under the spell of a moonlit evening in Elizabethan England, filled with star-crossed lovers and delightfully comic characters.
From the classic mischief-maker Puck to the beautiful fairy Titania under a love spell gone wrong, it’s Shakespeare’s finest comedy told in dance and mime.
The company dancers along with students from the Timothy M. Draper Center for Dance Education will bring this family-friendly adaptation of the delightful and fantastical Shakespearean classic to the Highland Bowl. Though our audience sizes will be restricted due to continued vigilance surrounding COVID-19, all four anticipated performances that weekend will be FREE community events. We hope that you consider making a donation to keep Rochester City Ballet bringing magic to the Rochester community.
Performances will be May 28th at 6 pm, May 29th at 2 pm and 6 pm, and May 30th at 2pm. The shows are free, but reservations are required as each show has a limited capacity. Visit http://rochestercityballet.eventbrite.com to make reservations.
