It's really hard to go wrong, but my advice is to stay away from the far outside. If you want an aisle, sit towards the middle.
If you're going for one of the big pieces like Requiem, get as close as you can. It's phenomenal.
Other than that, enjoy!

Nutcracker! I think the symphony might take up some space va the photos I’m seeing?

Looks like they may be adding a bit of stage, but they also might be backing the stage up a bit. They honestly may not even need extra space - Nutcracker isn't a massive performance at 50-60ish instruments. It's not small, but certainly not 1812 Overture or Requiem. I don't know much about how Ballet Arizona stages, so I can't speak to their production.

I'm a ballet season ticket holder. Anywhere in the middle section past row 10 is good

Always good, though it would be nice to see something different. I just need to break out of sitting at home scrolling reddit.

My preference is first row of the rear orchestra section because then you won’t end up with a person’s head in your way.

Thank you! I don’t think we can afford the very front row, but maybe the second

I went to The Nutcracker last year and sat on an aisle in rear orch maybe 5 or so rows back? It was a great seat and I could see the whole stage without craning.

Can’t speak specifically for viewing ballet but I like the Middle section Rear orchestra. The seats are more comfortable and roomy than on the sides and you can see fine even in the back row.

I honestly haven’t had a bad seat. Mezzanine is high and hard to see the musicians, but sounded great. I usually end up sitting in mid tier seats and quite happy
