Ballet Tucson’s Winter Concert has something for everyone to love just in time for Valentine’s Day, with four unique and diverse ballets.
A notable highlight is the Arizona premiere of an iconic work by world-renowned choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, “After the Rain Pas de Deux.”
Broadway fans will know Wheeldon as the Tony Award-winning choreographer of “An American in Paris” and “MJ The Musical,” soon to be seen as a part of Broadway in Tucson’s 2024 spring season.
This program also features another dazzling world premiere by Ballet Tucson’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer Chieko Imada, in partnership with the Tucson Desert Song Festival.

“Eternal Love” features the music of French chanteuse Édith Piaf performed live onstage by celebrated singer Katherine Byrnes, accompanied by Khris Dodge, maestro and music director of the Tucson Pops Orchestra and executive director of the Tucson Jazz Festival.
