Stravinsky’s The Firebird plunges listeners into a vivid world of Russian folklore, stitching together fairy tales, magic, and danger into one of the most electrifying scores of the 20th century. The ballet’s myth-like storyline features a magical Firebird, who helps a young prince rescue a coterie of princesses from Kashchey, an evil sorcerer. Stravinsky’s brilliant orchestrations paint a colorful musical portrait that will be brought to life onstage alongside Cleo Parker Robinson Dance.
