Ballet Jörgen: A Midsummer Night's Dream
William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of his most beloved comedies. Four Athenians find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. It is a lighthearted, humourous and fun tale of love and, often misguided, magic set in motion by the mischievous trickster Puck. The ballet adaptation is set to Mendelssohn’s 1827 concert overture and 1843 instrumental score which includes the famous “Wedding March.”

Ballet: A Canadian Way
Co-founder and Artistic Director, Bengt Jörgen brings this story to life in his own original ballet version as a tribute to Canada’s North. Ballet Jörgen’s, A Midsummer Night’s Dream will bring out the magic of northern Canada’s woodland and tundra landscapes and creatures of the forest such as moose, beavers, bears and squirrels. In addition to the professional dancers, each performance will include up to 10 age-appropriate roles for local, young, aspiring dancers, ages nine to 17, through Ballet Jörgen's Local Participant Program.

This family-friendly ballet will captivate audiences of all ages and will warm the hearts of young and old alike.
