April 12, 2019 - April 21, 2019

All’s well that ends well by Act II, which opens with Mendelssohn’s famous Wedding March and celebrates ideal love with some of Balanchine’s most beautiful choreography. Featuring the PNB Orchestra." ~ Pacific Northwest Ballet A Midsummer Night's Dream runs April 12-21, 2019, but after the show on Friday, April 19, 2019, you can join the well-heeled crowd for the Backstage Bash 2019 Enchanted at Midnight hosted by PNB and PNB Young Patrons Circle.
