ABOUT THE EVENT

Our State’s professional ballet company will delight audiences with its classical and contemporary repertoire danced by a sensational cast of soloists and principals.

Connecticut Ballet was founded in 1981 by choreographers Brett Raphael and Luk de Layress. Its official debut took place (under the company’s former title, Ballet Today) at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Shortly thereafter, the company made its Connecticut debut at the Stamford Center for the Arts, where it became a resident performing company in 1986.

The professional ballet company has performed throughout New England in addition to special appearances at the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival, New York’s Riverside Dance Festival, Cape Cod Performing Arts Festival, Harbourfront Festival in Toronto, Grand Central Station in New York City, Goat Island Dance Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, and many other venues.
