Adapted from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this original ballet by David Wilcox stands as a significant work in Long Beach Ballet’s performance history. Presented by the professional company between 1985 and 1996, the production traveled internationally and was performed in Taiwan. The ballet follows Shakespeare’s enchanting tale of young lovers, mischievous fairies, and magical misunderstandings set within a moonlit forest, where love is tested and transformed. Wilcox chose to set the ballet to music by Sergei Prokofiev, finding its lyrical richness and dramatic vitality especially fitting for the story’s emotional contrasts and magical atmosphere.
