THE FIREBIRD WITH PAQUITA

29 to 31 July, The Opera House, Wellington, then Napier, Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North

A century after The Firebird was first performed in Paris — changing the direction of traditional ballet in its wake — The RNZB’s choreographer-in-residence Loughlan Price and stage designer Tracy Grant Lord reimagine Stravinsky’s masterpiece in a different place and time. The powerful Price/Grant Lord reinvention is paired with Paquita — “a dazzling romp through highlights of the 19th-century Russian classic ballet beloved by Anna Pavlova, Rudolf Nureyev and Natalia Makarova”. rnzb.org.nz
