Ballet Arizona: All Balanchine
We will present three ballets by Balanchine at Symphony Hall May 1 through 4th. With musical accompaniment from The Phoenix Symphony, Ballet Arizona will present Balanchine’s “Western Symphony,” “Scotch Symphony,” and “Walpurgisnacht.”
A stroking example of Balanchine’s fascination with American themes, “Western Symphony” is set on a rugged Old West Street populated by cowboys and dance hall girls. A scenic escapade in the Scottish Highlands, “Scotch Symphony” features brisk footwork and a wistfully romantic pas de deux. This balletis set to Symphony No. 3, Op. 56, composed by Felix Mendelssohn. Twenty-four dancers soar in this brilliant, virtuosic dance of joyful revelry. “Walpurgisnacht” takes its inspiration from a traditional celebration the eve before May Day.
