A Midsummer Night's Dream, with music by Felix Mendelssohn, is George Balanchine's story-ballet masterpiece based on Shakespeare's play. The Pacific Northwest Ballet's full-length production was performed and videotaped before a live audience at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre in February 1999. Critics lavishly praised this outstanding presentation. PNB artistic directors Francia Russell and Kent Stowell have trained and coached their dancers to a very high level of artistic excellence. The corps de ballet exhibits technical prowess, evident in every dance sequence. The women in the corps de ballet do pas de bourree courus, pirouettes, and various poses all in perfect unison. The ensemble dancing is precise and seamless. What you will not see in this ballet are maneges of coupe-jete turns, grands pirouettes, or multiple tours en l'air. Balanchine does not have his ballerinas do excessive fouettes rond de jambe en tournant. He is reported to have said that two or three revolutions in succession were enough (after that, he notes, the audience starts counting). His choreography calls for dancers to perform subtle moves and changes in direction. His is a lyrical ballet, not one of brute force and athletic bravura. As you view this ballet, take note of the well-mannered, courteous audience. British audiences are not clap-happy. American audiences, by contrast, often interrupt the music with unnecessary, inappropriate, and annoying applause (or frenzied screaming and whistling). (I think many balletgoers confuse ballet with figure skating competitions.) This audience applauds only after the music has stopped, allowing us to experience the emotional impact of ballet by witnessing bodily movement with the accompaniment of music.
