Ballet Tucson 2022/2023 Performance Season

Tucson’s professional ballet company embarks on an inspiring season of dance and launches a new way for patrons to connect with the art form.

Ballet Tucson’s 2022/2023 performance season is packed with exhilarating new works including a piece by the Oscar-nominated choreographer of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, Justin Peck, and a world premiere by Chieko Imada featuring Internationally acclaimed musicians Duo Chinoiserie, in partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival. In December, Ballet Tucson begins its vibrant new partnership with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra for their treasured production of The Nutcracker. This thrilling partnership is sure to be the highlight of Tucson’s holiday season and is made possible by the James H. and Frances R. Allen Family Foundation in loving memory of Kimberlee Allen.

At the heart of Ballet Tucson’s mission for this season is the desire to connect more deeply with the community of Tucson. Artistic Director Margaret Mullin shares, “Over the last three years, we have learned the true importance of relationships. With the return of our talented company artists back to the stage, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of dance. Our dancers spark our belief in the extraordinary, allowing us to relish in this beautiful art form’s ability to foster inspiration, hope, imagination, and resilience.” The company is launching a new Membership Program that will provide unique opportunities for patrons to engage with the art form they love and get to know the passionate people behind the curtain and on the stage.

Ballet Tucson’s 2022/2023 season runs from October 7th, 2022 through March 26th, 2023.
