Midsummer Night's Dream at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre

The Hamburg Ballet’s ravishing version of Shakespeare’s classic tale of magic, mistaken identity and lovers’ quarrels is one of choreographer John Neumeier’s most joyous creations.

A rare combination of inspired concepts, exquisite, haunting choreography and broad comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream features music from Mendelssohn, Hungarian Gyorgy Ligeti and familiar street tunes played on a barrel organ. The music will be performed by Queensland Symphony Orchestra under the baton of The Hamburg Ballet’s resident conductor, Brisbane-born, Simon Hewett.

Appealing to audiences of all ages, Neumeier’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been included in the repertoire of many internationally renowned companies including the Paris Opera Ballet.
