SUMMARY:Connecticut Ballet presents: Giselle at The Bushnell
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut Ballet closes its 45th season with a performance of Giselle on June 20\, 2026 at 7:30 pm at The Bushnell. The production runs approximately 2 hours\, including an 18-minute intermission. \nConsidered one of ballet’s greatest romantic tragedies\, Giselle tells the story of a young woman betrayed by a nobleman and transformed into one of the Wilis\, supernatural spirits who seek revenge after dying before their wedding day. Since its 1841 premiere\, the ballet has remained one of the most celebrated works in classical dance. \nSet to the iconic score by Adolphe Adam\, the production stars Oksana Maslova\, principal dancer with the Philadelphia Ballet\, in the title role.

While generally appropriate for families\, the story includes themes involving death and supernatural spirits. \nGroup ticket pricing is available for parties of 10 or more by calling 860-987-5959 or emailing groups@bushnell.org. \nFor tickets and additional information\, visit The Bushnell

SUMMARY:Tavern Talks at Connecticut Museum of Culture and History
DESCRIPTION:Step into the social world of early Connecticut during Tavern Talks at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. \nHeld on Tuesday afternoons throughout the summer\, this gallery talk explores the fascinating history behind the museum’s collection of historic tavern signs displayed in the Auditorium. These signs once hung outside bustling taverns that served as important gathering places where people met to eat\, drink\, celebrate\, debate politics\, conduct business\, gamble\, dance\, and socialize. \nDuring the 30-minute program\, visitors will learn how to interpret the symbols and imagery featured on these distinctive signs and discover why so few examples have survived into the present day. The talk offers a unique glimpse into everyday life in early Connecticut and the role taverns played in shaping local communities. \nTavern Talks takes place from 2 pm to 2:30 pm at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, 1 Elizabeth Street\, Hartford\, CT 06105. The program is included with regular museum admission\, and no advance registration is required. \nGuests interested in accessibility accommodations\, including ASL interpretation\, are encouraged to contact the museum in advance. Questions may be directed to Natalie Belanger\, Public Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nFor additional information\, visit https://www.connecticutmuseum.org/event/tavern-talks-3/all/.
