Stravinsky. The Firebird. Royal Danish Ballet DVD
Stravinsky. The Firebird. Royal Danish Ballet DVD. The Firebird is a famous ballet that was first presented in 1910 by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris. The music by Igor Stravinsky is famous. Perhaps you've heard of "The Firebird Suite." It's comprised of selections from the ballet score, and it's often performed by orchestras without the dancing. The story behind the original ballet is of an exotic bird with magical powers, but this 1982 production by The Royal Danish Ballet, with choreography by American Glen Tetley, bears little resemblance to the original other than the name and the music.
The promotional copy on the jacket explains the revised story: "The Firebird is kept in an enchanted garden where she is guarded by a Victorian family, lead by a father figure. With the help of her lover, the Firebird liberates herself from the family's strict traditions and bonds, and with each pas de deux she becomes more and more human. As in every fairy tale, good triumphs over evil. Her lover overcomes evil, in the form of the garden's guardian, and is at last reunited with his Firebird."
