Update On Public Events
UC has updated its indoor masking policy to align with the CDC's recommendations for masking. Beginning on Saturday, March 12, all masking restrictions will be eliminated in all CCM spaces, so long as rates of hospitalization and transmissibility remain in the low-to-medium zones. This means masking will no longer be required in classrooms, rehearsals, performances, etc. for everyone — students, faculty, staff, campus visitors and audience members. Members of our community who prefer to continue to wear a mask when indoors or in close proximity with others for personal safety should continue to do so. Please continue to be sensitive and respectful to the needs of others as we work through this transition. Beginning on Thursday, March 31, 2022, CCM will also lift the 50% capacity limit in performance venues.
Additional measures may be in place as conditions develop based on guidance from the CDC and UC's physician-led COVID response team. Visit the UC Public Health website and CCM's COVID-19 website for additional information and updates.
We will continue to share updates and additional information online and in future installments of our Next OnStage email newsletter.

Giselle
Composed by Adolphe Adam
Deirdre Carberry and Shauna Steele, directors
Featuring guest artists Jace Pauly, Cincinnati Ballet; and Antonio White, independent artist
One of the most romantic and beloved ballets, Giselle is proof of the strength of the human heart, love's triumph over treachery and betrayal, and the power of redemption and forgiveness. It premiered at the Theatre de L’Academie Royale de Musique in Paris on June 28, 1841. The story was written by Theophile Gautier, based on a theme by Heinrich Heine. Giselle, a peasant girl, goes mad and ultimately dies of a broken heart when Albrecht, an aristocrat, deceives and betrays her. Although Giselle becomes a Wili upon her death she fights to protect her beloved from the other Wilis and Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, who has ordered Albrecht to be danced to death. Albrecht survives the dance of death through Giselle’s love as she dances to sustain him until the first light of dawn breaks the Wilis power.

Theo Ending Originally Conceived In 1998 by Mitch Sebastian

With an infectiously unforgettable score, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
