Ballet Arizona 2026-2027 Season

The Ballet Arizona 2026-2027 season, marking the company’s 40th, starts off with three classical full-length ballets – Ib Andersen’s Romeo & Juliet and The Nutcracker in 2026 followed by Daniela Cardim’s adaptation of Don Quixote.
The spring sees Pulse, a mixed repertory program featuring works by George Balanchine, Christopher Wheeldon, and Juanjo Arqués, the annual residency at Desert Botanical Garden where a world premiere by Nayon Iovino will pair with Nacho Duato’s Gnawa, and the inaugural performance of the company’s new choreographic initiative Ballet in the Making.
“We are excited to unveil our 2026-2027 season and to celebrate 40 strong years as a ballet organization. This milestone anniversary season is our tribute to the enduring power of dance and the vibrant community that inspires us.
We invite everyone to experience the magic, innovation, and passion that defines our company, as we look forward to many more years of artistic excellence.”
