Ballet Tucson Tickets

From beginning to end, we were captivated by the great performance. Very professional.

The cast of the Tucson Ballet's "Nutcracker" is enthusiastic and well practiced. The quality of the production creates a quaint feeling to the holiday experience, as one would hope. I was disappointed to have tickets in the front row, only to have the orchestra pit covered with an additional platform that blocked the view of half of the dancers' bodies! I paid a big city price only to be given canned music through loud speakers and an obstructed view. The ballet company itself is awkward and amateurish, but I don't think world class is needed to thoroughly enjoy The Nutcracker. Next time, I'll pay less and sit in the back.

The Ballet was so well done! My granny and I had wanted to see a Nutcracker performance together and we were not disappointed! The dancers were amazing and the performers did a wonderful job at portraying the story with their movements and no dialogue. The music was beautiful, but it was recorded rather than having a live symphony. Though it would have been neat to add that, the show was still thoroughly enjoyable. The venue also had a food vendor, and hot cocoa and coffee stand which I was very grateful for :) I would definitely recommend this show for a fun holiday outing with a friend or family member.

This was my first ballet, and I was blown away with the beauty, talent, and costumes. From the emerging young performers to the very accomplished, I was very impressed and on the edge of my seat :) The start of a holiday family tradition, for sure!

This event exceeded my expectations. The only thing that surprised me was that there was no live orchestra to play the music.

The Nutcracker is always a magical experience. Everything is beautiful and whimsical. It is entertaining for the whole family, any age, any language spoken. This year, I was disappointed by the Mad Russian, which is usually my favorite part. Other than that it was great.

Great family show. (what more need I say to fill the requirement?)

My daughter loved the stages and performances we well rehearsed. I loved that they incorporated kids into the show. Only 4 stars cause some of the men's costumes were too tight and revealing for kids.

Wonderful performance of the Christmas classic, amazingly talented Tucson based Ballet!

I have been involved in Nutcracker productions for most of my life. Ballet Tucsons Nutcracker has the charm and freshness that I always enjoy in the production. On the downside the music was recorded and the quality of the recording was poor, the quality and design of the costumes inconsistent, the choreography academic. The spirit of the performers was charming and they presented the story well.

I have seen this production for many years and I still have to say that it is an absolutely wonderful Holiday experience. The professional dancers of Ballet Tucson are highly skilled and the children involved perfectly capture the spirit of the season. It is a colorful and joyous production and every guest that I have taken becomes a loyal fan. I will be going again next year and will be highly recommending this to anyone who is thinking of seeing it. At this point, it would not be the Holidays without Ballet Tucson's Nutcracker as a part of the festivities. Take it from me, don't miss it next year!

My daughter has been in dance classes since she was 3 (she's now 6). We went to The Nutcracker for the 1st time and we both loved it! The dancers were amazing and the show was overall amazing!

The Tucson ballet and their rendition of the Nutcracker was wonderful. Lot's of energy on opening night. The only thing missing possibly is a live orchestra but the production rose above that small missing piece. We loved the incorporation of so many children in the production. The principle dancers were spot on and the entire cast appeared to be well rehearsed and directed.

I took my daughter and a neighbor to see "The Nutcracker" and it was fantastic. Over the years I have seen many productions and in different states ; this one was among my favorite! I will plan on seeing it again next year.

Ballet Tucson presents the most professional performance of the Nutcracker in Tucson. I have seen many Nutcrackers and this one is by far the best. The professional ballerinas are amazing. The children that are involved in the show are of such a high caliber. Mary Beth Cabana and Chieko Imada know how to put on a stellar show. Kudos to these directors. Keep up the good work. Tucson is fortunate to have such a gem in our own backyard.

I have been attending Ballet Tucson's Nutcracker for many years and this year's show was just as fabulous as ever. The city's professional ballet troupe delivers magic with great dancing and terriffic sets and costumes. The children are impeccably rehearsed and add joy and delight to this polished production led by the professional dancers. The Old Pueblo can truly be proud of the calibre of Ballet Tucson's Nutcracker. It is a first class, classic Holiday treat and should be put at the top of the list as far as Nutcrackers go. I have seen many productions in my day but I cannot say enough about the quality of this amazing show. It would not be the Holidays without seeing it !

I have seen more Nutcrackers then most people and Ballet Tucson's Nutcracker is one of the best. The beautiful cast of children from their affiliated school Ballet Arts to the gorgeous cast of professional dancers all contribute to the wonderful, fun, whimsical presentation of this Nutcracker. It is a production that Tucson can be proud of and should be on the list of must see events for everyone's holiday season. See it and you'll become a fan of this excellent company and their Nutcracker. Cheers!

What a delightful Nutcracker performance our own professional ballet company Ballet Tucson, presents every year, every bit as wonderful as many New York City performances. It has become a tradition for our family to see a performance of Ballet Tucson's Nutcracker every year and it wouldn't seem like Christmas without our families' Nutcracker fix! Truly addicting!

What an unexpected gem in the heart of the desert! It was a magical and truly spectacular performance, professional in every way. The quality of all the dancers, not just the main characters was far beyond any previous experience with any other company I have seen in Arizona. Tucson has attracted some truly world class talent in this company, a real treat for the entire family.

I have seen many versions of the Nutcracker, and Ballet Tucson's is hands down the best version in town, and compares to ballets in larger cities (with larger production costs). Ballet Tucson is Tucson's only professional ballet, and it shows here, with better dancing, better sets, better costuming, and a certain je ne sais quoi. Highly recommended.
