Join us for an enchanting evening of story telling through ballet! Come and enjoy an evening under the stars and Peter Anasto’s colorful choreography of the classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream! We are also proud to say that Nittany Ballet is now a Balanchine licensed ballet school. Come celebrate with us as we bring a the opening movement of George Balanchine’s Serenade to State College, PA. Midsummer…A ballet about the transforming power of love, Peter Anastos' A Midsummer Night's Dream, is based on William Shakespeare's comedy about the romantic adventures and misadventures, quarrels and reunitings, of two pairs of mortal lovers and the king and queen of the fairies. Serenade... Serenade is a milestone in the history of dance. It is the first original ballet George Balanchine created in America and is one of the signature works of New York City Ballet’s repertory. Balanchine began the ballet as a lesson in stage technique and worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography. A student’s fall or late arrival to rehearsal became part of the ballet. © The George Balanchine Trust
