The **Teatro Sociale di Castiglione delle Stiviere** is set to host two unmissable events that enrich the local cultural scene, offering a blend of classical dance and family theater.
The first event features the quintessential romantic ballet, **”Giselle,”** scheduled for **December 15, 2024, at 5:30 PM.** Presented by the **Russian Classical Ballet**, the performance brings to life the poignant story of young Giselle, deceived by love and doomed to dance with the Villi, spirits of maidens who have died of heartbreak. With music by **Adolphe-Charles Adam** and choreography by **Jean Coralli**, this production promises an exhilarating experience that combines academic technique with intense expressiveness. The legend of the Villi, immortalized since 1841, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
The second event, taking place on **December 22, 2024, at 5:00 PM,** is family-oriented and features the show **”Poco più in là,”** produced by the company **Teatro Gioco Vita.** Directed by **Valeria Sacco** and inspired by the work of Korean author **Suzy Lee**, winner of the 2022 Hans Christian Andersen Award, the performance tells the story of an unexpected encounter that arises from a small mishap. Through a hole in the wall, Anna discovers a different and enchanting world beyond her room, inhabited by Jan. This simple yet profound narrative invites the audience to reflect on the importance of curiosity and openness towards others.
Both events underscore the central role of the **Teatro Sociale** as a meeting place and cultural hub. For more information and tickets, please visit **[vivaticket.it](http://vivaticket.it)** or contact the local Culture Office.
