A Midsummer Night's Dream: Ballet at the Volksoper Wien

About the Event

The many levels of action in William Shakespeare's comedy correspond to the multi‐faceted interpretation by choreographer Jorma Elo.

Decisive factors for Elo's approach to this work were its timelessness and the congenial music written for the play by Felix Mendelssohn‐Bartholdy. The ballet, which had its world premiere in 2010 at the Vienna State Opera, won the famous Prix Benois de la Danse award.
