As the crowning jewel of our 30th Anniversary celebration, Ballet Tucson presents the timeless masterpiece “Serenade” with choreography by the legendary George Balanchine. Balanchine is considered the father of American ballet and is the 20th century’s most prolific choreographer and creator of the neo-classical style. “Serenade” was originally choreographed in 1934 and is one of Balanchine’s earliest and most enduring ballets. This piece is a “must see” for historians and modernists alike. Presented with other popular and eclectic works that make Dance & Dessert the perfect finale to an unforgettable 30th Anniversary Season.
