Midsummer Night's Dream to Umeå

During 2024, Norrlandsoperan begins a new collaboration with the Royal Swedish Ballet by playing Alexander Ekman's magnificent Midsummer Night's Dream on May 31 and June 1. The piece, which Ekman created in 2015 for The Royal Swedish Ballet, portrays a magical summer night and is performed by more than 40 dancers.

The music is composed by the New York-based composer Mikael Karlsson, who, in addition to several collaborations with Ekman, has written the opera Melancholia, which premiered in Stockholm at The Royal Swedish Opera in 2023.
