Scary screams are turning into joyful holiday cheers (unless you’re at Target on Black Friday) and the air is getting more crisp (theoretically). Get out there and enjoy some of the city’s great events to kick off November.
Cincinnati Ballet Presents Giselle
The haunting and romantic ballet Giselle will be performed at Music Hall to close out your Halloween season. The story follows peasant girl Giselle (played by Cincinnati Ballet First Soloist Katherine Ochoa) who dies of a broken heart after a lover’s betrayal and enters an ethereal spirit world. There will only be five performances of this show, so make sure to buy tickets while you still can. Thursday, October 31-Sunday, November 3, Music Hall, 1241 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine
Germania Society Christkindlmarkt
For those who like a jumpstart on holiday shopping, Germania Society has you covered. Their traditional German Christmas market has craft goods both imported from Europe and made by local artisans. You can warm up while shopping with a nice hot cup of mulled wine or a bowl of mock turtle soup. The kids can also enjoy themselves with visits from Santa, Mrs. Claus, St. Nicholaus, Krampus, a petting zoo, carriage rides, a lantern parade, and face painting. Admission is $5 per person and free for kids under 12. Friday, November 1-Sunday, November 3, Germania Society, 3529 W. Kemper Rd., Colerain Twp.
Nosferatu with Radiohead: A Silents Synced Film
One of the first horror films ever made and arguably one of the most influential silent films of all time, Nosferatu, is coming to the Esquire for a special one-night screening. Rather than being show in silence, the German Expressionist vampire classic will be synced with music by Radiohead— specifically from the Kid A and Amnesiac albums. Tickets are $12. Friday, November 1, 10 p.m., Esquire Theatre, 320 Ludlow Ave., Clifton
