Ballet Arizona To Stage Exhilarating Collection Of Short Ballets At Orpheum Theater Next Spring

The widely renowned Ballet Arizona present a fascinating collection of short ballets, coming to Phoenix's Orpheum Theater for a limited run next Spring! Celebrating a mixture of cutting edge new work and classic choreography, Cacti & Other Works is a thrilling and innovative dive into the world of modern ballet.

Cacti & Other Works features three short ballets from a wide spectrum. There is the classic Apollo, George Balanchine's seminal 1928 work that garnered him international acclaim. Concertante comes from modern master Hans Van Manen and deftly explores relationships. And finally, there is Cacti - a scathing parody from Alexander Ekman that deconstructs the art of ballet in enthralling, hilarious fashion. All three pieces showcase ballet at its most beautiful and daring.
