The Firebird & 3 New Works
The Firebird
The Firebird ballet is a story full of magic and love based on a Russian folk tale. Igor Stravinsky's brilliant score will be performed by the young musicians in the Roanoke Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of James Glazebrook. SVB will be reviving the stunning choreography of internationally known choreographer Vicente Nebrada.
Nebrada's Firebird is set in the tropics with a host of fantastic creatures aiding the
Firebird and Prince in their quest to rescue the beautiful princess from an evil Magician and his Companion. Stunning costumes by the internationally recognized costume designer, Christina Giannini, include lizard like monsters, dragonflies and a spectacular Firebird. This collaboration between the best young dance and musical performers in the Roanoke Valley is a must see for the entire family.
3 New Works
SVB is thrilled to present three world premiers by choreographers, Katherine Keeling, Pedro Szalay and Abigail Williams. The pieces in the classical and character styles of ballet will showcase the range of SVB's repertoire. Accompanied by the RSYO, the works will be set to The Comedians by Dmitry Kabalevsky (1904-1987), Hungarian Sketches by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) and Matinées Musicales by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976).
