WINTER CONCERT

February 17-19, 2023
Leo Rich Theater

ALLEGRO BRILLANTE
BALLET TUCSON PREMIERE
Choreography by George Balanchine
Music by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky
Set to Tschaikovsky’s beautiful Third Piano Concerto, Allegro Brillante is characterized by what Maria Tallchief (the ballerina on whom the bravura leading role was created) calls “an expansive Russian romanticism.” The music’s vigorous pace makes the steps appear even more difficult, but the ballet relies on strong dancing, precise timing, and breadth of gesture.
Balanchine said, “It contains everything I know about the classical ballet in 13 minutes.”
Presented with permission by the George Balanchine Trust.
BORDERLAND
BALLET TUCSON PREMIERE
Choreography by Price Suddarth
Music by Johann Sebastian Bach
Borderland is the state of being where the mind is caught between two realms– awake and asleep. The ballet opens on four dancers, as if from a dream, emerging out of the darkness. In following the unpredictable path of a dream, they travel back and forth between hauntingly silent tranquility and explosively manic tension. The work invites the viewer to remove themselves from the predictable and immerse themselves instead into this rapidly changing experience.

HIMIKO
WORLD PREMIERE
Choreography by Chieko Imada
Music by Yusuke Nakanishi performed live by Duo Chinoiserie
In partnership with the
Ballet Tucson’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer Chieko Imada creates another stellar world premiere work in partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival, sharing the legend of Japanese Queen Himiko. Featuring new music performed by the internationally acclaimed Duo Chinoiserie, Bin Hu and Jing Xia combine the Chinese guzheng and the European classical guitar to celebrate the elegance of the Chinoiserie style and bring the best of Eastern and Western culture together through music.
ROMEO AND JULIET PAS DE DEUX
Music by Sergei Prokofiev
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. – Juliet
Experience the most celebrated moment of the world’s greatest love story just in time for Valentine’s Day: the iconic balcony scene from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet brought to life through an exquisite classical ballet pas de deux.

FIRST LIGHT | Ballet Tucson premiere
Choreography by Price Suddarth
Music by Carly Comando
First Light is a high energy ensemble work focusing on speed, strength, and most of all the freshness of a new day. Much like the dawn— when everything is still before us— the dancers tear open the space with abandon. Through the journey of the piece we experience joy, challenge, and heartache…all the components of a beautiful complex day, and ultimately life. The dancers elegantly and seamlessly knit these varied arcs together with power and finesse, reminding us that our lives are more than any singular moment.
WALPURGISNACHT BALLET
Choreography by George Balanchine
Music by Charles Gounod (from Faust)
Walpurgisnacht Ballet was choreographed for a 1975 production of Faust by the Théâtre National de l’Opéra, danced by the Paris Opera Ballet. The New York City Ballet premiere was the first presentation of the choreography as an independent work. The Walpurgisnacht scene occurs at the beginning of the opera’s last act, when Mephistopheles brings Faust to watch the traditional celebration on the eve of May Day when the souls of the dead are released to wander at will. Although the ballet does not depict Walpurgisnacht per se, it does build on a sense of joyful revelry.
Presented with permission by the George Balanchine Trust.

JOPLIN
Choreography by Mark Schneider
Mark Schneider has long been a favorite choreographer of Ballet Tucson audiences. His delightfully charming and vivacious Joplin creates the perfect combination of ballet and jazz. This “Broadway Ballet” is Schneider’s homage to the King of Ragtime Scott Joplin and brings a joyful conclusion to our 37th season.
