Happening at Joffrey

Midsummer Night's Dream

Far from a Shakespearean tale, Alexander Ekman’s 'Midsummer Night’s Dream' is a mind-bending trip to a surreal realm of unearthly delights. Set during the traditional Scandinavian summer solstice festival, dancers celebrate a day of revelry and romance under the maypole, which soon unravels into an otherworldly dream.

Join us for a Midsummer celebration, followed by the return of the Joffrey for All free performance in Millennium Park.

2024-2025 Season

Join us for a season loaded with exhilarating experiences, compelling narratives, and fascinating new worlds, all at the Lyric Opera House.
