The final program of our season is a bouquet of sumptuous sophistication, playful choreography, and flair. Legendary choreographer George Balanchine’s La Source, once described as “pink champagne,” features both brilliant ensemble work and virtuosic pas de deuxs. Premiering at the Pacific Northwest Ballet in 2019 with our own Artistic Director Margaret Mullin as part of the original cast, Bacchus is Ballet Tucson’s first work by famed choreographer Matthew Neenan, who the New York Times has called, “one of America’s best dance poets.” Set to the spirited music of Oliver Davis, Bacchus is a lively romp that exemplifies the Roman god of wine himself. Rounding out the program, celebrate the legacy of American choreographer Ron Cunningham with the Ballet Tucson premiere of his critically acclaimed Bolero. Intriguing, provocative and bold, this striking ballet set to Maurice Ravel’s classic score has long been a Sacramento Ballet audience favorite and promises to offer a thrilling conclusion to the 2025/2026 Season.
