Firebird
Balanchine / Stravinsky
Alive with color, excitement, and spectacular effects, Firebird is a fantastical and thrilling fairy tale about magic, love, danger and liberation. This reimagined Miami City Ballet production was the smash hit of our 2019/20 season and the only Balanchine Firebird performed outside of New York City Ballet.
While out hunting, Prince Ivan strays into a mystical forest where he encounters the exotic, immortal Firebird who gives him an enchanted feather that will summon her when he is in dire need. When Ivan falls in love with a beautiful Princess who is under the spell of the evil sorcerer Kastchei, he calls the Firebird, and the battle between good and evil is joined.
“Suspenseful and spooky…a fairytale and a thriller in equal measure” – Fjord Review
“Compelling and mysterious… a masterpiece of musical narration.” – New York Times
Concerto DSCH
Ratmansky / Shostakovich
With its thrilling Shostakovich score and dramatic texture, Alexei Ratmansky’s acclaimed 2008 work Concerto DSCH creation puts on full display the dancers’ mastery of classical technique and contemporary sensibility. The ballet’s title refers to a musical motif used by Shostakovich to represent himself, with four notes that, when written in German notation, stand in for his initials in the German spelling (D. Sch.).
