Ballet Arizona is turning 40 years old, and they are celebrating with a very special show inspired by the famous story Alice in Wonderland!
Get ready to tumble down the rabbit hole and enter a world full of surprises when ALICE (in Wonderland) comes to Symphony Hall from February 12–15, 2026. This time, the dancers will be joined by live music from The Phoenix Symphony, making the adventure even more exciting!
You’ll feel like you’re inside the story as Alice explores Wonderland. This magical ballet, created by choreographer Septime Webre, mixes ballet and fun, modern dance to tell the story in a playful and imaginative way that kids and grown-ups will both love.
Watch as the stage fills with bright colors, amazing costumes, and beautiful music. You’ll see silly tea parties, glowing Cheshire Cat smiles, and dancers who leap and spin like superheroes. In Wonderland, anything can happen—and it does!
Two dancers, Isabella Seo and Madison Penney, take turns playing Alice, the curious girl who starts the whole adventure. The fast and funny White Rabbit is played by Serafin Castro and Ricardo Santos. They are joined by 50 talented young dancers from The School of Ballet Arizona, adding even more magic to the show.
Ballet Arizona’s artistic director, Daniela Cardim, says Alice’s story is all about being curious, using your imagination, and discovering new things. This ballet shows that dancing can be fun, brave, and full of surprises—and that dreaming big is always a good idea!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching Alice and all your favorite Wonderland characters in a show that is magical, exciting, and unforgettable.
