The company will be treating locals to a Shakespeare classic, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, at the Godinymayin Culture Centre, before performing the same show in Tennant Creek on July 30.
Following on from their tour of Romeo and Juliet in 2016, audiences in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Northern Territory will once again be exposed to a night of dance.
Melbourne City Ballet artistic director Michael Pappalardo is confident the production will be received well.
“We have a real commitment to providing first-class performances to as many regional and remote areas of Australia as possible,” Mr Pappalardo said.
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream is such a fantastic ballet to tour as it appeals to a wide range of people.
“Action, comedy, drama, and of course a splash of fairy magic combine to make this the perfect ballet for people to bring their families along to see,” he said.
Set to the inspiring music of Mendelssohn, the chaotic story of four young lovers, a vengeful king and meddling fairies will prove falling in love can make fools of everyone.
Full of flittering fairies, mischievous magic, and misadventures this charming ballet will be a delightful journey from the royal court into a magical realm.
