Hamlet is a dark, sumptuous journey through Shakespeare’s tale, bending and at times breaking the original narrative to create moments of intriguing texture and fiery emotion. Ballet, by its very nature, is dramatic. It’s pure emotion given form through movement, light, and music.

This makes Hamlet, perhaps the most dramatic of Shakespeare’s plays, a perfect choice for a ballet, as Stephen Mills has proven through his world-renowned production.

Sacramento Ballet presents Hamlet runs through Feb. 17
