- Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, interpreted by Frederick Ashton, is a classic of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. Titania, Queen of the Fairies (performed by Akane Takada) and Oberon, King of the Fairies (performed by Steven McRae) dance this powerful pas de deux. 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.

The outfits are so stunning. I literally can’t focus on anything else. Even that caramel hair colour compliments her costume, it’s so pretty. And even he looks great too, the men are normally dressed boring as hell.
I know! The costumes are incredible!
Hell isn’t boring lol but yes, your are absolutely right
I am simple. I see Shakespearean ballet and I click.
It good to see Steve dancing again
Akane is such a beautiful Titania! I love watching her in this.
Such a beautiful ballet. Sir Fredrick Ashton was a genius, his choreography is a Spring morning filled with bluebells.
I had to watch that about four times in a row. McRae channels Dowell for me (and that is GOOD), but adds his own sharp lucidity to the role. Takada, beautiful. Complete surrender to her Oberon. Made my day to watch this.
She managed to pull this off so perfectly despite the conditions of her shoes🧡
one of my favorite ballets hands down. the music, the costumes, the captivating choreography, everything is absolutely beautiful. can’t wait until i can do it again with my company
Wow! I love Shakespeare and I love ballet so to merge them together makes my heart happy. Akane and Steven are amazing! Steven is so talented and such a hard worker! Round of applause for them both! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I simply love watching the royal opera house's dances. They are all so beautiful and graceful, especially their costumes.
One of the biggest regrets in my life was that I never got the chance to learn ballet due to financial issues. It has always been my childhood dream to be a ballerina but it seems too late now.
I’d say if you can and want to start learning anyway!!
Try out an adult ballet class! :)
Omg, She is an absolutely stunning dancer.
god the costumes are incredible, especially the wig! also was it just me or did her pointe shoes look... kinda weird at times? Maybe it was just the angle or im seeing things that are not there lol. Beautful as always! shes such an incredible dancer
Just finished streaming this about half an hour ago. What a wonderful ballet! Akane was just splendid, it was an absolute joy to see her dance this role, and Steven too! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Omfg her shoes are basically just socks at this point. Those feet must be insanely strong
That was my first thought as well!
Those shoes are awful.
I think she cuts holes in the side, but she could honestly use a bit more support. She's a stunning dancer but those shoes cut her line to heck.
Hahaha, I thought the same thing! It made me nervous when she would go en pointe! She definitely has strong feet.🩰🩰🩰
i pretty much couldn't take my eyes off her shoes-
OBERON LOOKS SO GOOD OMFG
I would have loved to have seen more. This pas has really difficult choreography that could be SO awkward if it were not danced by such beautiful dancers as these. Yeah, and I agree with others: the costumes are stunning!
Gorgeous!! But ya! I noticed the point shoes as well!.
Love Oberon's costume the dancer is superb xxx

Slavic girls
Beautiful, poetic! 👏👏
She really said, "what pointe shoes?"
The deadest ever! I guess she has a tailor's bunion?
omg the costumes are just🤌🏻
Lovely.
Beautiful performance, but it always scares me when they keep dancing on shoes that dead.
her legs are literally what barbie legs look like 😩‼️
Wunderschön!
00:34 wuuuu that was beautiful.......
Q hermoso felicidades bailan muy bien
She makes dead shoes look gorgeous!!!
So many aspects of life to watch, hear, & see to enjoy, but the sadness of ill health etc is so hard to bear, look at the mnd campaign, think of those suffering
What would Mr w Shakespeare make of it xxx
is that her little toe sticking out of her pointe shoe??

I wonder how old the Indian Changeling is in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
😍😍😍👏👏👏
Is one of Akane's point shoes broken?
sometimes dancer cut a hole to relieve bunion pressure, looks like that might be what happened here. there are very dead shoes regardless.
@Páscoa Maria Very strange and honestly distracting.
@@nectarina3891 Very dead shoes for sure. And I find it distracting. I hope it was just a costume rehearsal.
@@Jazillia007 i didnt notice until you pointed it out, and i stare at pointe shoes. im an actual dancer myself, and pointe shoes can get really painful, so we have to do weird things to our shoes sometimes. im sure akane was more focused on functionality than it being distracting to one viewer.
واو 😍❤️💛
Ben istemek ağlamak.. Ben konuşmayı unutmak..Ben bunu çok sevmek...
Itu badan di puter2 apa kaga keseleo?
This music seems familiar. is it from another ballet too? Perhaps copellia or La fille mal gardee? or was it in a Barbie movie??? I'm trying to wrack my brain to remember.
This is Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream.
it was in 12 dancing princesses!!
@@pageturner242 thank you so much I used to watch that movie over and over again as a kid!
Bitch that's Skimblshanks!!!! yay!
Steven Mcrae... is so fine🙈🙈
I'm guessing whoever dances the part of Titania in the Titania 1866 Ballet, a Midsummer Night's Dream 1962 Ballet, and The Dream 1964 Ballet must be Coming of Legally Coronation, Homecoming, and Enthronement Age.
Why blond hair? Can't Tataniahave black hair?
I was thinking the same even though color scheme for this production is stunning but
Why not dark hair Titania ?
I do not wish to sound rude, I’m genuinely curious: is there an issue with her having blonde hair?
I believe she was an understudy in this production, if she had been main cast it would have been good of them to give her darker hair.
@@mikiohirata9627 I think she is a lovely woman, but the light hair is not flattering.
My teacher would kill me if I made my bourres that big.
Love Stephen macrae

When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
