2022 Fall Season
- Firebird 1919
Based on a Russian legend, the Firebird tells the story of Prince Ivan Tsarevich. While the prince was hunting in the forest, he strays into the magical realm of Koschei The Immortal. Ivan chased and captured the fabled Firebird. The bird begs for her life, and the prince decides to spare her. The bird offers the prince one of her enchanted feathers, which can be used to summon her should the prince ever be in dire need. The prince later meets 13 princesses who are under the spell of the evil Koschei. The prince falls in love with one, and attempts to rescue her. Koschei and the Prince start fighting, and the prince summons the firebird. The bird enchants Koschei and his minions, causing them to dance an elaborate energetic dance until they collapse from exhaustion. The prince saves all the princesses and minions under Koschei’s command, and they celebrate the victory.
