The Portland Ballet will present its holiday traditional production of John Clifford’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Nov. 23, 24 and 25 at Portland State University’s Lincoln Hall, 1620 SW Park Ave., Portland. The production is in collaboration with the PSU orchestra and opera singers Hannah Consenz, soprano, and Megan Matton, mezzo-soprano, who will perform Mendelssohn’s music live at every performance. With its music, whimsical costumes, cast of 80 and choreography that is at once fleet-footed, challenging and amusing, The Portland Bal- let’s production has already proven to be a critically praised audience pleaser.
