The Dream is based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and it’s a beautiful ballet. It doesn’t tell the full story, there’s no Theseus and Hippolyta, and the Mechanicals (apart from Bottom) only have a very short appearance but you do get to see the Lovers and the Fairies.

Marguerite and
Armand tells the same story as the opera La
traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. The ballet and the operas are both based on
Alexander Dumas’ play La Dame aux camélias which means The Lady with
the Camelias. Marguerite and Armand are the names given to the characters
in the play and the names have been kept for the ballet.
