Holiday Magic Is on With Ballet Arizona's Digital NUTRACKER SUITE  Image

While 2020 has canceled many events, it can't cancel the magic of the holidays! Ballet Arizona will present " Nutcracker Suite," a reimagined performance of the classic ballet, in a digital format over two weekends - Saturday, December 12 and Saturday, December 19. Digital access is $20 and directly benefits Ballet Arizona, a nonprofit arts organization and the only professional ballet company in the Valley.

"Nutcracker Suite"

Ballet Arizona's "The Nutcracker" is a critically lauded tradition that was named one of the top three "Nutcracker" performances in the country by The New York Times. Filmed in Ballet Arizona's in-house Dorrance Theatre, 2020's abridged digital "Nutcracker Suite" features favorite highlights from the wintry forest of the Snow Queen and King to the beautiful Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Exclusively available to stream online, this streamlined version includes the dancing you know and love as well as some exciting bonus content like dancer interviews and behind-the-scenes segments that are sure to delight.

For the first time ever, "Nutcracker Suite" will be available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish version will feature exclusive Spanish behind-the-scenes looks at "Nutcracker Suite," in addition to Spanish translations of bonus content.
