A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Making-of (3)

Rehearsal with violinist Daniel Hope

By combining Shakespeare’s classic »A Midsummer Night’s Dream« (around 1600) and Antonio Vivaldi’s violin concerto series »The Four Seasons« (1725), Semperoper Ballett’s mixed bill »Ein Sommernachtstraum / A Midsummer Night’s Dream« (2018), presents two repertoire classics that mainly deal with essential feelings of (human) entities as well as their surroundings: in addition to Frederick Ashton’s 1960s ballet adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, accompanied by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s re-arranged incidental music (1826/1843), David Dawson’s contemporary choreography »The Four Seasons« (2018), inspired by Max Richter’s re-composition of Vivaldi's music (2012), takes on these intriguing themes too.

Premiere 10. March 2018
