CO West Ballet Presents The Firebird & Original Modern Works

For one night only, Colorado West Ballet will present a two-act evening featuring both traditional story ballet and contemporary ballet. Firebird is a one act ballet composed by Igor Stravinsky. The ballet tells the story of Prince Ivan, who captures the magical Firebird but chooses to spare her life. In return, she helps him defeat the evil sorcerer Kastchei and free the captive princesses. Original Modern Works from CRM season IV will complete your evening for Act 2. Original choreography set to music by Yannick Lowack, Antonio Vivaldi, Evolving Sound and Hendyamps Studios, Luca D’Alberto and Trio Pathetique in D Minor by Mikhail Glinka shows the diversity of ballet as a whole as well as the dancers at CO West Ballet. Choreography that leaves audiences in awe, wonder and delight makes this act unforgettable. All performances are approximately two hours with a 20 minute intermission. Opportunities for photos and to meet the cast follow each performance at no additional cost to our community.
