A Midsummer Night’s Dream Casting Announced
Join PBT for the magical world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Pittsburgh premiere of Ben Stevenson OBE’s ethereal ballet retelling of Shakespeare’s comedic romp. PBT will perform the whimsical, family-friendly ballet May 15-17 at the Benedum Center as the closing production of its 2025-26 Dream Season.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream ballet, based on William Shakespeare’s iconic comedy, weaves a tale of quarrels and reconciliations between Oberon and Titania, the fairy king and queen and the romantic misadventures of two mortal couples—all under the spell of the mischievous fairy, Puck. The dreamy forest escapade will captivate audiences with its comedy, romance and playfulness. The ballet incorporates stunning costumes, lush scenery, exceptional choreography and a recognizable, vibrant Felix Mendelssohn score, brought to life by the PBT Orchestra and the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh.
