Step into a world of vivid imagination and emotional depth with An Evening of Stravinsky, a captivating double-bill ballet production that brings to life two of Igor Stravinsky’s most iconic scores: The Firebird and Petrushka. These masterpieces, born from the early 20th-century collaboration between Stravinsky and the Ballets Russes, continue to mesmerize audiences with their explosive rhythms, rich orchestration, and timeless storytelling.

​

The Firebird: A prince enters an enchanted realm and captures the magical Firebird, who helps him defeat the evil sorcerer Kashchei and free a kingdom from his dark spell. A tale of magic, courage, and triumph.

Petrushka: At a lively Russian fair, three puppets – Petrushka, the Ballerina, and the Soldier – are brought to life. Trapped by human emotions, Petrushka’s love and jealousy lead to tragedy, blurring the line between puppet and person.

​

Together, The Firebird and Petrushka offer a dazzling journey through Slavic folklore and the human condition – one fueled by the primal pulse and poetic vision of Stravinsky’s groundbreaking music.
