Napoli U.S. Premiere
February 12 - 15, 2015
with the Phoenix Symphony
at Symphony Hall
Ballet Arizona presents the US premiere of one of the most renowned ballets by legendary ballet choreographer August Bournonville.
Napoli is a festive and uplifting story of Gennaro, a poor fisherman, and his beloved Teresina. Teresina is washed away in a great storm only to be rescued by sea nymphs ruled by an evil sea spirit. The couple’s love must overcome trials and temptations so that light prevails over darkness in the best tradition of Romanticism.

All Balanchine
April 30 - May 3, 2015
with The Phoenix Symphony
at Symphony Hall
Allegro Brillante – According to Balanchine himself, this work, with its vigorous pace and precision timing, “contains everything I know about classical ballet in 13 minutes.”
Stravinsky Violin Concerto – with a dynamic score, this ballet is comprised of two central pas de deux: contrasting tender and romantic with angular and modern.
La Sonnambula – the dark, mysterious tale of the beautiful Sleepwalker who entrances a poet with tragic consequences.
Choreography: George Balanchine
“One of the most striking developments in modern ballet is that there is now a trans-American, even trans-global, Balanchine diaspora. Ballet Arizona ranks among the most significant.”
– Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
