PRE-BALLET DINNER LECTURES TO NOURISH YOUR MIND & GET YOU THIRSTY FOR THE SHOW
In NYC, we work so hard that when it's time to play, we want to do it all at once—socialize, unwind, learn something new, and get inspired. That oftentimes results in nothing, but missed opportunities. To help you fill your nights with joy and fresh experiences, we're offering a novel format to enjoy the arts—private ballet lectures held right before the show.
We'll meet at a restaurant next to Lincoln Center for an intimate pre-ballet dinner—a thoughtful aperitif that will ensure you'll easily digest the show after.

Considered ballet’s ultimate tale of unrequited love, heartbreaking loss, and triumphant forgiveness, Giselle remains a timeless favorite. In the heart-wrenching saga of betrayed love and mercy, a romantic triangle emerges that brings passion, death, and everlasting love.
Watching ballet can be boring, as it is hard to make sense of a story told in a language you don't speak. We'll translate every move onstage, so you can understand the meaning and enjoy the dance, just like you enjoy your favorite TV show.
