🩰 Join us on June 20th as Connecticut Ballet closes its 45th season with a revival of ballet's greatest tragic love story: Giselle.
​
🌹 A Romantic Era masterpiece, Giselle tells the story of a young woman seduced and betrayed by a nobleman. Dying of a broken heart, she joins the ranks of the supernatural Wilis—a sisterhood of female spirits scorned before their wedding day and doomed to rise from the grave, taking their revenge for eternity. Since its premiere in 1841, Giselle continues to enthrall audiences today, 185 years after its premiere, where it rightly stands as one of the most popular ballets of all time.

🎟️ Tickets available now at bushnell.org

🚀 Something BIG is coming to the Warner Theatre and last night, a select few got a sneak peek.

We hosted an exclusive first look at Worlds Beyond, an all-new immersive experience our digital team has been building behind the scenes. Guests explored a taste of what's to come: from dinners among the stars, to cocktail hours in a fantastical garden, to pre-show experiences beneath the ocean's surface.

Worlds Beyond is a perfect example of how our affiliation with the Warner makes both of us stronger, and creates something truly unforgettable.

The reaction in that room last night? Electric. And we can't wait for you to experience it yourself. Want to be the first to know when Worlds Beyond officially launches? Subscribe to our email list today and stay ahead of the crowd: app.bushnell.org/signup
