The Firebird
Will Prince Ivan succeed in freeing the Firebird?
Prince Ivan is not afraid of anything. Not even of the Giant Czar, a giant with magic powers. Ivan secretly climbs over the fence to see the Giant's magical garden. It is as beautiful as Stravinsky's fairy-tale music played by the orchestra. Then Prince Ivan meets a firebird with flaming feathers. And he tries to free 13 other birds locked in a golden cage. Would Prince Ivan succeed in setting them free?

The story, the music, the interaction between orchestra and actor, it was right from beginning to end. What a great way to introduce children to classical music!
