BALLET TUCSON presents BALLET IN BLOOM

BALLET TUCSON

Tucson’s Only Professional Ballet Company  •  ballettucson.org

 

The Final Program of the 2025–2026 Season

BALLET IN BLOOM

Balanchine  •  Neenan  •  Cunningham

Sponsored by Jeannette Segel

 

A bouquet of sumptuous sophistication, playful choreography, and flair.

Ballet in Bloom brings the 2025–2026 season to a glorious close with three dazzling works showcasing the full range of the Ballet Tucson company. From a Balanchine classic to two Ballet Tucson premieres, this program is an unmissable celebration of the art form at its most vibrant and alive.

PROGRAM

 

La Source   —   George Balanchine

Once described as “pink champagne,” this Balanchine masterwork features brilliant ensemble choreography alongside virtuosic pas de deux. A luminous, effervescent gem from one of ballet’s greatest choreographers.

Bacchus   —   Matthew Neenan — Ballet Tucson Premiere

Premiering at Pacific Northwest Ballet in 2019 with Ballet Tucson’s own Artistic Director Margaret Mullin as part of the original cast, this lively work by New York Times–praised choreographer Matthew Neenan is set to the spirited music of Oliver Davis. A romp inspired by the Roman god of wine himself.

Boléro   —   Ron Cunningham — Ballet Tucson Premiere

The program concludes with a Ballet Tucson premiere of choreographer Ron Cunningham’s critically acclaimed work set to Maurice Ravel’s iconic score. Intriguing, provocative, and bold — a longtime Sacramento Ballet audience favorite and a thrilling finale to the season.

The Circus Academy’s performance troupe has earned a reputation for award-winning circus theatre, including Best Local Show and Best Movement/Dance Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival 2023. Light and Dark continues that legacy of excellence with a brand-new original work.

Founded in 2015, the Circus and Aerial Academy of Tucson is dedicated to circus arts education for youth and adults in an open and supportive environment.
