Family Matinee at the Ballet
Connecticut Ballet’s June 20th 2:00pm FAMILY MATINEE AT THE BALLET is a perfect opportunity to introduce your family to the magical world of professional ballet. Narrated by Artistic Director Brett Raphael and patterned after Leonard Bernstein’s famous New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts in the 1960s, the performance will focus on the unique life of a professional ballet dancer and sample some of the great story ballets.
Company soloists will showcase famous ballets which they love and explain what some of the unique challenges are for their characters. Audiences will see segments from Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and finish with a company favorite, Goose Pimples, to New Orleans-style jazz by Bix Beiderbecke. Mr. Raphael and his dancers will take questions from the audience followed by a meet-and-greet opportunity in the theater lobby.
The 75-minute program is suitable for children ages 4-14. All seats are $35 plus ticket service fees. Groups of 10+ may receive significant ticket discounts. For further info, email ctballet@ix.netcom.com or visit www.bushnell.org for tickets.
