But this show has even more going for it. Firebird's award-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, a current soloist with New York City Ballet, is one of the most innovative and heralded of new choreographers, having inspired big articles in Time and Dance Magazine. Daring to re-choreograph an already well-loved ballet, in Firebird he creates a new masterpiece from an old one, his choreography departing from...
