Firebird with Tango Nights

The evening begins with tango

Before the Firebird takes flight, Tango Nights sets the stage with smoldering intensity, sharp musicality, and passionate partnering, all performed to live music.

Then the Firebird takes flight

Enter a world of passion, power, and transformation. Prince Ivan meets the mysterious Firebird and must face the dark sorcerer Kashchei to bring light back to the kingdom. Stravinsky’s electrifying score is performed by a live orchestra.

The Tale of the Firebird

Hunting deep in an enchanted forest, Prince Ivan captures the radiant Firebird. Moved by her pleas, he sets her free, and in gratitude she gives him an enchanted feather and promises to return in his hour of need. At the gates of an ancient castle, Ivan finds twelve maidens dancing around a tree of golden apples. Among them is a princess, and he falls in love with her at first sight. She warns him away, because the realm is held captive by the dark sorcerer Kashchei.

Ivan enters anyway and is seized by Kashchei’s creatures. Clutching the feather, he calls the Firebird, whose flames lull the monsters into an enchanted sleep and reveal the secret of Kashchei’s power: his soul, hidden in an orb. Ivan destroys it, the curse is broken, the captives are freed, and light returns to the kingdom.
