Music Hall
Starting at $15
See Stravinsky’s Firebird at Music Hall on April 24 and 25.
Experience Stravinsky’s The Firebird like never before. Paired with the storytelling power of larger-than-life puppets designed by South African director and creator Janni Younge, world-renowned for the award-winning play War Horse, this evocative production draws from the symbolism of the original ballet choreography and reinterprets it in a contemporary South African setting.
Music Director Cristian Mӑcelaru, the CSO, and expert puppeteers and dancers from Janni Younge Productions come together in this sonic and theatrical depiction of The Firebird that builds to a dramatic, fiery finish. Mahler’s unfinished tone poem Totenfeier opens the program—a deeply introspective and intense experience that ultimately developed into the opening of his monumental Resurrection Symphony.
