Ballet Arizona 2022-2023 Season

Ballet Arizona 2022-2023 Season

The recently announced Ballet Arizona 2022-2023 Season features diverse programming across six programs.

Phoenix audiences will enjoy two classical full lengths – Cinderella and The Nutcracker – accompanied by The Phoenix Symphony, as well as Giselle.

Balanchine lovers will appreciate the All Balanchine program that covers three of his most iconic pieces. Those new to the works of the master will be finely introduced to the choreography that will forever remain part of the neoclassical canon.

And Ballet Arizona demonstrates their contemporary talents in a program dedicated solely to the genre as well as in their annual residency at Desert Botanical Garden, a nature-intense playground for Artistic Director Ib Andersen’s new creations.

Ballet Arizona Giselle

Giselle | February 9-12, 2023

The Madison Center for the Arts

  • Giselle by Ib Andersen

This ghost-filled, haunting masterpiece is one of the most beloved and romantic ballets of all time. Giselle tells the tragic yet passionate tale of a lovely young woman who dies of a broken heart. The ballet is famous for the Wilis, maiden spirits who take revenge on the young nobleman that betrayed Giselle. Achingly beautiful, Giselle is an enrapturing work of art that draws audiences in with themes of enduring love, tragedy and romance.

Ballet Arizona All Balanchine

All Balanchine | May 4-7, 2023

Symphony Hall

  • Raymonda Variations by George Balanchine
  • Emeralds by George Balanchine
  • The Four Temperaments by George Balanchine

Three different ballets by The Father of American Ballet, George Balanchine, including a work never before performed by Ballet Arizona. 

Set to a melodic and enchanting musical score, Raymonda Variations is a bustle of precise ballet technique that materializes into a spectacle of dance, with a succession of remarkable solos at its center.

Breaking with convention, Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments is an experimental work that portrays the medieval concept of the four personality types (Melancholic, Sanguinic, Phlegmatic, and Choleric). Brilliantly choreographed and filled with arresting solos and ensembles, The Four Temperaments introduced new possibilities for ballet that continue to challenge dancers and audiences equally.

Emeralds (from the full length Jewels) evokes the elegance and romanticism of 19th century ballet. With a lush score by Fauré and dancers dressed in Romantic-length tutus, Emeralds is a window into the nostalgia inherent in much late 19th-century art, with its idealized view of the Middle Ages, chivalry, and courtly love.

Ballet Arizona An Evening at Desert Botanical Garden

An Evening at Desert Botanical Garden | May 16 – June 3, 2023

Desert Botanical Garden

  • TBA by Ib Andersen

From the choreographer that brought you new works such as Eroica, Topia, and The Four Seasons, An Evening at Desert Botanical Garden promises a spectacular experience that is uniquely Arizonan.

Surrounded by the matchless desert landscape with the setting sun as a backdrop, Ib Andersen’s vision for dance in the desert continues in 2023. Expect the unexpected as Ballet Arizona evolves, takes chances, and challenges the boundaries of contemporary ballet in the desert that we call our home.
