Nightfall: Danse Macabre
October 21, 2023 , 7:00pm – 10:00pm
NEW DATE: This evening of Nightfall has been postponed from Friday, October 20th, to the rain date of Saturday, October 21st. All tickets for Friday will be honored on Saturday. There are no refunds or exchanges.
The undeniable truth is, we are all going to die. So why not embrace the inevitable and go dancing to our graves? This year’s Nightfall—the crowning event of Green-Wood’s fall season—is inspired by the danse macabre or dance of death. Dating to the Middle Ages, it describes skeletons enticing kings, cardinals, and common folk to their graves with musical accompaniment (or for the more reluctant, by hook or by crook). It’s a poignant reminder that the same fate awaits us all. Till then, shake off any fears or anxieties and join us in a celebration of time we have left together.
Price: $75, $70 for members, $100 for VIPs
