Following its hugely successful premiere in 2015, the Royal New Zealand Ballet is thrilled to be bringing A Midsummer Night’s Dream back for Christmas 2024. 

The RNZB presents the Ryman Healthcare season of A Midsummer Night's Dream

Titania and Bottom from a Midsummer Night' Dream; Titania in a flowing white dress in a penche en pointe, and Bottom dressed as a donkey supporting her.

Created for the Royal New Zealand Ballet by Liam Scarlett, A Midsummer Night’s Dream was an overnight sensation at its premiere, with capacity audiences throughout its first New Zealand tour, followed by successful performances in Hong Kong in 2016.  Distinguished New Zealand designer Tracy Grant Lord created the glorious vision of Shakespeare’s iconic characters and enchanted wood, illuminated with lighting by Kendall Smith.
Don’t miss your chance to see this sparkling, spectacular ballet when it returns to Aotearoa – a wonderful treat for young and old, lovers of dance, music and sheer theatrical magic.
Performances in Wellington, Auckland (Aotea Centre only) and Christchurch will be accompanied by live orchestra.
A co-production of the Royal New Zealand Ballet and Queensland Ballet. It was first performed in Wellington, New Zealand, on 20 August 2015. 
The performance is approximately 2 hours, including one 20-minute interval.
