Ein Sommernachtstraum (Mendelssohn): Ferri American Ballet

[Machine Translation] Frederick Ashton choreographed this humorous and poetic ballet based on "A Midsummer Night's Dream," one of Shakespeare's most famous and popular comedies, which takes place deep in a romantic forest. The music is by Mendelssohn, and the "Wedding March" is also an insert from this work. Titania falls in love with a donkey by means of a love potion, and the lovers of the quadrangular relationship are in a slapstick situation as their favorite partners change and chase after each other. The lovers of the four corners of the world are in a slapstick chase after each other, and the gorgeous fairies and Puck's lively dancing.... This is a work that can be easily enjoyed by ballet beginners and those unfamiliar with the original work in less than an hour. 2011 is also a year in which this much-talked-about work has been performed by K-Ballet Company and Birmingham Royal Ballet. Titania is played by Alessandra Ferri (retired in 2009), a dancing actress and eternal fairy who sings, and King Auberon is played by Ethan Stiefel, an ABT star who also appeared in the movie "Center Stage". In the naughty fairy pack, Herman Cornejo shows off his light leaps and turns.
