A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
Featuring the award-winning set and costume designs of David Guthrie. Symphony Silicon Valley will perform the remarkable score that, almost overnight, made Felix Mendelssohn a star.
This magical, musical Shakespearean comedy is brilliantly told in dance with all the fabulous plot twists and turns, the mistaken and mismatched lovers, the supernatural characters of Puck, Oberon and Titania, with a full retinue of fairies and sprites from the Ballet San Jose SCHOOL, and, of course, the unforgettable and bemused jackass, Bottom.

Choreography: DENNIS NAHAT
Costumes and Scenery: DAVID GUTHRIE
Lighting: KENNETH KEITH
Composer: FELIX MENDELSSOHN
Conductor: DWIGHT OLTMAN
