Connecticut Ballet, under the artistic direction of Brett Raphael, once again invites audiences to Be My Valentine, a an evening of of dance romance performed by the company’s awe-inspiring soloists. Presented in The Bushnell’s intimate Belding Theatre, the program will be performed for one night only: Saturday, February 17 at 7:30pm.
Raphael states, “Last year’s Be My Valentine program was the proverbial ‘first dance.’ I am thrilled to curate a new evening of duets and commissioned new dances that celebrate love in its many forms. With music from Johannes Brahms to Bonnie Raitt, it will be a journey from classical ballet to contemporary dance.”
Raphael continues, “As was the case last year, the dancers and I are looking forward to celebrating with audience members onstage after the show. I know the performance is three days after Valentine’s Day, but who wants to party on a Wednesday night!?”
For an additional $15, attendees can join the company for an exclusive onstage after-party. The post-show event will feature DJ Arvolyn Hill spinning music and hula hoops, delectable strawberries in chocolate, a champagne toast, and a rose for each guest. Participants are encouraged to come dressed in your favorite red! Everyone attending the party must purchase a performance ticket.
