Ballet Arizona takes to the outdoors for its next show; an original production choreographed by its artistic director Ib Andersen called "Eroica."

The production's setting is a special one: the Desert Botanical Garden.

Andersen has taken performances to the Desert Botanical Garden in the past, but this one may turn out to be the best fit. The production debuts Tuesday night, and The Show caught up with Andersen at the gardens earlier to learn more about it.
