Casting Girls For "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" Ballet
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking girls for "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" ballet. See the details below. About the project: "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" was the first performance presented on the SPAC stage at the venue’s grand opening in July 1966. Inspired by the music of Mendelssohn, Balanchine captures the play’s infinite colors: the bumbling comedy of the Rude Mechanicals, the feisty feuding between Titania and Oberon, the romantic confusion of the young lovers chasing each other through the Athenian forest, and of course the mischief-making Puck – in a ballet of myriad pleasures. Featuring a large cast of children from the Capital Region, A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the first wholly original full-length ballet Balanchine created in America and is one of the most popular ballets in NYCB’s repertoire. Additional info: Saratoga season: July 8, 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m. and on July 11 at 2:00 p.m At least three years of ballet training is encouraged for all of the roles. Understudies will also be cast. If you are interested, please apply.
