There are some very good reviews on this ballet from folks much more versed in the art of ballet than I, but I'll betcha most of those buying them are about as knowledgeable as I. You know what YOU think is beautiful and that's about all you need to know.
There are several things beautiful about this ballet. Number one, the music by Mendelssohn is some of the most beautiful your ears will ever have the pleasure to hear. But, I'll bet you knew that already. I listen to his music, and ... Read More

All the dancers in this were well cast. Alessandra Ferri always seems light and graceful and full of passion anyway, so the role of Titania is perfect for her. Though I always enjoy Ethan Stiefel's dancing, I've never been a fan of his acting abilities until now...his arrogant, scheming Oberon blended well with his prowess of technique. The four lovers were entertaining, even if Hermia (and the four faery handmaidens) did use the open-mouthed "oh my god, s/he did NOT just do that" routine a few too ... Read More

I love this ballet and Ethan Stiefel as Oberon and Alessandra Ferri as Titania are absolutely incredible. Because this story is a comedy, it's a fun ballet to watch for all ages. I highly recommend the The Dream to anyone who is a fan of the American Ballet Theater or ballet.

Two years later, Sir Frederick Ashton choreographed "The Dream," also a take on Shakespeare's play, and also using Mendelssohn's famous score. Despite the similarities in music and source, the Balanchine and Ashton ballets differ quite a bit. Ironically, Balanchine, ... Read More

I Imagine this was an excellent performance of Ashton's "The Dream". I say "imagine" because this DVD is an object lesson in how not to film a ballet. The camera work is frenetic, zooming in and out every few seconds, cutting from one part of the stage to the other without rhyme or reason, destroying all sense of flow and denying the viewer any possibility of appreciating the dancing or the choreography. Half of the shots are only of the dancers' upper bodies. Doesn't the director know that dance involves the ... Read More
