Sacramento Ballet presents The Firebird

Three great masterworks share a program inspired by the creative brilliance of Russian tradition. The mythic tale of the mysterious "Firebird" springs to life as she comes to the aid of Prince Ivan in his quest to free a captive princess and establish a Royal Empire. Celebrating the "Rite of Spring's" explosive 100th anniversary, Ron Cunningham's retelling of this primitive ritual is a riveting theatrical experience not to be missed. A red hot jazz inspired score provides the perfect backdrop for Balanchine's witty and sophisticated "Rubies."
