 The performance was a combination of three one act ballets all choreographed by Frederick Ashton. This was the closing performance for the 70th season of the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden. The music was by Felix Mendelssohn and arranged by John Lanchbery. <br><br>
 The Dream is a ballet based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The plot is about the King of the Fairies Oberon who fights with his Queen Titania about their son. Oberon then orders Puck to sprinkle her eyes with a flower's potion to make her fall in love with the first thing she sees. Titania then falls for Bottom who is turned into a donkey. While this is happening, two pairs of lovers enter the story and Puck decides to mess with them. This creates havoc and finally he & Oberon make everything right with everyone. Oberon makes peace with Titania and everyone goes back to the way they were supposed to be. Oberon was played by Steven Mcrae and Titiana was Akane Takada. The chorus during the performance was sung by the London Oratory Junior Choir. The scenery had the look of an enchanted forest. <br><br>

 The original auditorium is used as the main theater. It has over 2,500 seats. The main stage is proscenium style with no apron. The stage is 15 meters square. The orchestra pit can fit 90-109 musicians. The floor of the pit is hydraulic and has three heights. The top level is used for concerts. The second level is used for smaller orchestra shows. The third and lowest level of the pit is used for large orchestra shows. This enables more musicians to fit in the pit and for dampening of the sound so the performers can be better heard. While it was recently redone, the auditorium retains its original renaissance style. It even still has a box for the royal family that was first created for Queen Elizabeth I. There is also an adjoining room for the royal family to eat and wait in before the show.

-After the British Civil War, only two theaters were instated for 28 years. Those theaters were the Drury Theater and the Royal Opera House. The Opera House burned down twice before the current building was built. Two years ago the Royal Opera House doubled its size and renovated the existing parts of the building. The total cost was over £200 million. The Royal Opera House now has two proscenium theaters and eight dance studios. There are also two sister dance schools that are considered amongst the most prestigious in the world next to France and Moscow.

 ===Plot Summary===
-<br><br>
+<br>
 In a small farming town, a poor young man, Nemorino, has fallen hopelessly in love with the beautiful Adina. Nemorino pursues Adina, even though she is far above him in intellect, looks, and wealth. Adina refuses to love Nemorino, choosing instead a Sergeant from the military, Belcore. In despair, Nemorino spends his entire savings on a love potion from the traveling Dr. Dulcamara. The potion is nothing more than cheap red wine, but Nemorino believes in its powers so thoroughly that he ignores Adina, expecting her to soon love him and wanting to get a small amount of revenge on her. Annoyed by his inattentiveness, Adina accepts Belcore's proposal of marriage; They will be married that very night. Hearing this, Nemorino despairs: The love potion takes twenty-four hours to take effect! He seeks out Dr. Dulcamara, asking what he can do to speed the potion's effect. Dulcamara tells him to buy more. But Nemorino is out of money, and leaves to loudly lament his sorrows of being so poor. Belcore overhears Nemorino, and tells him of the large enlistment bonus given out by the military. Nemorino signs up and uses the funds to buy more potion.
