It's Not OVO Yet...
Special "Friends of Revels" Discount
OvoJust a few shows remain of Cirque du Soleil's latest production OVO, and friends of Washington Revels can receive 15% off select performances!

OVO is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.

The 28th Annual Christmas Revels
Don't delay... tickets are now on sale!
2010 Christmas RevelsTravel to a 19th-century English village to mark the Winter Solstice.  We'll celebrate an English Country Christmas with traditional carols, anthems, rounds, country dancing, and a hilarious mummer's play.

Join the acclaimed Revels company (more than 75 performers, ages 8 to 80) to explore Thomas Hardy's beloved (if fictional) Wessex and the charming village of Mellstock.
This year's guest artists, The Mellstock Band, come from England with a wonderful collection of string and wind instruments, including the haunting "serpent," a snake-like ancestor of the tuba. You'll also find Revels favorites Cutting Edge Sword Dancers, Foggy Bottom Morris Men, and our ever-delightful brass band.

8 PERFORMANCES:
December 4-5 & 10-12 (matinees and evenings)

Lisner Auditorium, 21st and H Streets NW, Washington DC
