Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)
The Firebird Petrushka
The Firebird (1910)
For the first performance of Firebird, June 25th, 1910,
the Ballets Russes programme of the Theâtre National
de l'Opera, Paris, published the following synopsis:
The Firebird, one of the most popular Russian
folktales, begins when Ivan Tsarevich, the
crown prince, sees a marvellous bird of flaming
gold. He pursues but fails to catch it, and only
succeeds in snatching one of its glittering
feathers. The chase has taken him into the
domain of Kastchei the Immortal, demi-god of
evil, who attempts to capture him and, as he has
already done with many valiant knights and
princes, turns him to stone. Kastchei's
daughters and thirteen princesses intercede for
Ivan Tsarevich and try to save him. Finally the
Firebird appears, breaks Kastchei's spell, and
rescues everyone. Ivan Tsarevich and the
knights, delivered from their fate, seize the
golden apples from Kastchei's garden.
