- Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, interpreted by Frederick Ashton, is a classic of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. Akane Takada performs the role of Titania, Queen of the Fairies. Watch on ROH Stream from Friday 19 March: stream.roh.org....
The high-spirited misadventures of the two pairs of mortal lovers from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream combine with the humorous cavorting of Bottom, played by a male dancer who dances en pointe after his ludicrous transformation. The ballet culminates in a powerful pas de deux for Oberon and Titania, which moves through a stormy conflict of wills to a harmonious union. Felix Mendelssohn’s witty, gossamer-light music for the play provides a perfect partner to Frederick Ashton's inventive choreography.

Akane is light as a fairy!
I think she is fairy 💙
akane takada is perfectly cast in this omg she truly is the queen of the fairies
This is so beautiful and Akane is so precious! She is one of the great dancers of our time. Everyone in the Royal Ballet is insanely talented.
Agreed, Akane is definitely one of the greatest ballerinas of our time. I think she deserves greater international recognition.
the delicate sounds by the choir (unlike many other versions) make akane’s steps even more dreamy. in love with this ballet 🤍
What’s the name of the song?

Sublimely delicate... Akane with her splendid technique, appearing light as a feather, and beautiful lines is poetry in motion!
One of the best ballets EVER
And here, we see yet another instance of Akane proving to be one of my favorite ballerinas of all time! :D
How could you Possibly dislike this???

Gorgeous and detailed sublimity. Feather-light, and delicate. Not only the excellent dancing, but the staging, too.

So beautiful. I love the fact that I recognize so many of the dancers!
Wouldn't it be beautiful to land yourself in such a dream? ...😊

Truly wonderful can’t wait to see The Dream this Friday. Superb costumes, music, choreography.

Gorgeous costumes and choreography!
Wow, what a beautiful performance
Absolutely magical!
The costumes are so beautiful
So light and easy! Nicely done!
Gorgeous 😍😍😍✨👏
wow ❤
They were so beautiful and were the standard of body shapes.
Волшебно!
Everything is perfect onstage. But I like the bit at the end when Titania smugs lol
The Flounce is perfect, isn't it?
茜さんは日本一のバレリーナ!
Can anyone guide me on the music? The melody is beautiful (and the dancers are divine, of course!)
Music is by Felix Mendelssohn from his “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” work. Believe part of this is from a track “Op 2a allegro vivace!”
She uses such soft shoes!
I thought they looked terrible. Very distracting.
0:36 Expression 👏🏻👏🏻
sounds like from another fairy worlds!
Love it phenomenal dancer! But what's up with her pointe shoes?
They are soft and dead, very normal for professionals
anyone know the name of the song??
Been looking for this specific music part of the ballet, anyone know the section or name?
It's gorgeous isn't it, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Incidental Music, Op. 61: No. 3, Lied mit Chor
Gonna learn this section 0:42 - 0:54
What is the music for this piece? I'm learning it for a variations class, and can't seem to find it (without lyrics) on spotify haha
Where can we watch the full streamed version?
Can anyone tell me the name of the piece?? Is mendelssohn?
See reply from Dominiki3 above. Yes, Mendelssohn.
💕💕
Wow, this is like a live action of Barbie and The 12 dancing princesses shoes
Wait a minute, New Titania Character; Greek Accent, Fairy Flance Costume, Hairstyle, Jewelry, and Makeup.
I love everything about this! ❤️❤️❤️
Also is this based off of ‘A Midsummers Nights Dream’ by Shakespeare! Just wondering! ☺️
Edit: William Shakespeare, I forgot the William but you know lol
my studio is doing midsummer rn and i’m in fairy core, it’s nowhere near as good as this tho
What is the misic in video called
Song credits please?
Song?
THE MAKE UP, THE COSTIMES, THE HAIR, THE GRACEFULLNESS???
Nais
Wait a minute, New Hermia and Helena Characters; Legally Marriageable Ages, Athenian-Greek Accents, Romantic Tutus, Romance Skirts, and Goddess Jewelries.
Beautiful. One of my favourite ballets, and Akane is wonderful. Time for ethnicity-appropriate wigs and make-up though. Akane looks silly with yellow ringlets. Get with the times RB.
Cannot like this comment enough!
Japanese women dye their hair any colour they like though....I don't think they'd care to be told that blonde is off limits to them....
I think she looks gorgeous.
I don’t think it’s about looks (because Akane looks good in anything). Asian women can be Titania. Titania can be Asian, with proper Asian features. Just because it’s Shakespeare doesn’t mean Akane has to wear blond wig. :)
@@diasnovitawuri1939 I agree; that is the first thing that struck me. Whatever, the case, I at least hope she was the one to make the hair colour choice. As a Principal of the Royal Ballet, I believe that should be her prerogative.
I just wanna be like her but I guess it's too late for me lol (not me commenting lol while crying because I'll never be a professional)
I just keep hearing "soggy nights"
thanks for ruining it
First
Luke 13:25-27
When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.' Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!'
Wait a minute, New Cupid Character; Roman-Italian Accent, Romantic Tutu, Romance Skirt, and Goddess Jewelry.
the choir is so bad and distracting... unfortunate for such a beautiful piece
Why are you so disparaging? I love hearing boys' choirs with their unique clarinet tone.
Are you saying that the singing is bad, or that you don't like Mendelssohn's use of the chorus?
