Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stravinsky's 1910 score revolutionized ballet so hard that the Ballets Russes premiere literally caused fistfights in the audience. This Miami production keeps that revolutionary spirit with neon-soaked visuals.
The original Firebird choreography by Michel Fokine was so physically brutal that ballerinas collapsed backstage. Nathalia Arja's interpretation honors that legacy of absolute commitment.
