Tickets, tickets, tickets!

Ballet Arizona has so many exciting performances coming up. From Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in February, our iconic All Balanchine series in May, to a world premiere by Artistic Director, Ib Andersen, at Desert Botanical Garden set to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, there is something for everyone. Interested in all three? You can purchase your loved one a Spring pack subscription and get their new year started off right!
