Dance
Romeo and Juliet
February 12-February 15, 2009
When Ib Andersen premiered his staging of Romeo and Juliet, The Arizona Republic hailed its 'brilliant choreography' and 'matchless dancing,' and called the production 'ballet at its best...a deeply expressive and beautiful art form that can move us profoundly.' Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers are back for Valentine's Day weekend, with extravagant sets and costumes, and accompanied by one of the greatest ballet scores ever created.

How lucky can we get? Ballet AZ has wowed us again with their Don Quixote. Brilliantly performed with balletic excellence and comediac charm they prove again and again that we really do have a company that is a jewel in the desert. Ib Andersen must be beaming with pride at his company's achievement which rivaled any of the world's company (and I've seen many, having been born and raised in NYC). What's more, they all seem to be having such fun. As a member of the Ballet AZ VOlunteer Corps, I can tell you they ARE enjoying themselves and will do only their best to please Ib and also Olga, who has come to us for the staging of this piece and last year's Swan Lake. We who are devotees of the ballet consider ourselves most fortunate. We anticipate only more and more thrills as the years go by. Bravo, Ballet Arizona. Collapse

I seen IB Andersons Nutcracker last year with a friend that had an extra ticket. I vowed that I would take my family the following year....I just purchased 8 tickets. I would highly recommend seeing this refreshing version. The music, dancers, costumes and sets made it magical. Collapse

I had a wonderful time at the ballet. I was so pleased with my experience I need to let you know about my evening. The seats and the performance were great. I wish more venues would offer tickets at a reduced price. I go to a lot of performances at the Mesa Art Center and Gammage at ASU. Many times I see empty seats which could have been offered to students or at the last minute a great bargain on your site. I will continue to look for more opportunities. Collapse

Ib choreographed a ballet with something for everyone. The performance is stunning, the dancers superb. It's like perfect beauty and form in motion.

I saw "The Nutcracker" the last two years. I thought it was okay the last two years, but in a way a mish mash of a "Nutcracker." However, this year "The Nutcracker" was AMAZING. It was unbelievable. The sets were so beautiful and spectacular. When the Christmas tree grew, it was magical. The costumes were so intricate and elaborate. I highly suggest this. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it in the next few days. Collapse

"The Music Lags the Dance"

As always, Ballet Arizona was impressive and moving. But, as is often the case with Valley dance companies, the choice of music was less than glorious. With dozens of magnificent compostions available from the Romantic and Impressionism periods for these two world premieres, surely more inspirational music than Haydon for "Before," or Shostakovitch for "Go With It" could have been discovered. At the risk of sounding the Philistine, for me great Ballet is 40% splendid music and 60% superb dance. But I loved the performance, and will always appreciate Ballet Arizona. Collapse
