Ballet Arizona honors film icons in Hollywood-themed performances

Posted

Ballet Arizona will be celebrating cinematic classics in February with its world premiere production of “Moving Movies.”

The Symphony Hall event, Feb. 15-18, will be performed with music from The Phoenix Symphony.

“Ballet Arizona will travel back in time to 1950’s and ‘60s Hollywood with a unique dance experience that takes ballet from the stage to the big screen,” a release stated.

Written and choreographed by Nayon Iovino, the ballet will feature music scores such as “James Bond Suite – Orchestra Medley,” composed by John Barry, and “West Side Story Overture,” composed by Leonard Bernstein.

Other famous scores include “Morning Promenade” from the Charlie Chaplin film “The Kid,” “Orchestral Suite” from the film “La Dolce Vita” composed by Nino Rota and “Amarcord” from the film “Amarcord,” both composed by Rota and directed by Federico Fellini.

“This show will be a homage to all the classic films that we know and love,” Iovino said.

“Through an original story, we will connect all these movies together – and the dance will be fun, exhilarating and original. One of the most exciting parts of the show is that we are integrating an interactive experience between the dance and the massive LED screen.”

Ticket prices start at $35, with discounts offered for seniors, students, military and groups. Tickets can be purchased by calling 602-381-1096 or visiting https://balletaz.org/performance/moving-movies-2024/.
