Alexei Ratmansky’s Firebird, a glorious interpretation of the classical fairy tale, is filled with mystery, enchantment, and heroic triumph. At the heart of the story is Ivan, a young man on a quest to find his lost love. His journey leads him into a strange and magical world, where he encounters the legendary Firebird—a radiant, supernatural creature whose help proves vital in defeating an evil sorcerer.
