Featured Ballets
Walpurgisnacht
Choreography: George Balanchine

Walpurgisnacht takes its inspiration from a traditional celebration the eve before May Day. Set to the music of Faust by Charles Gounod, 24 dancers soar in this brilliant, virtuosic dance of joyful revelry.
Scotch Symphony
Ballet Arizona Premiere
Choreography: George Balanchine
Music: Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56, Composed by Felix Mendelssohn
A scenic escapade in the Scottish Highlands, this charming Balanchine ballet features brisk footwork and a wistfully romantic pas de deux.
Choreography: George Balanchine

A striking example of Balanchine’s fascination with American themes, this classical ballet is set on a rugged Old West street populated by cowboys and dance hall girls.
