The Firebird with My Brilliant Career
The Firebird will be paired with one-act ballet My Brilliant Career, and the performance will feature live orchestra.
Presented by: Royal New Zealand Ballet
Loughlan Prior’s The Firebird – a fairytale of a desert world where water is infinitely precious – a huge hit for the RNZB in 2021. Tracy Grant Lord’s stunning designs, coupled with immersive projections by POW Studios, provide the backdrop for Prior’s expressive choreography, all built on the foundation of Stravinsky’s epic score.
The Firebird will be paired with one-act ballet My Brilliant Career, based on the novel by Miles Franklin, and familiar to many through the 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill. Created in 2023 for Queensland Ballet by UK choreographer Cathy Marston, in demand throughout the ballet world for her imaginative and emotionally compelling storytelling. We are delighted to bring Marston’s work to Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time, and to share her fiercely intelligent, character-driven choreography with audiences who love dance, theatre, and a classic coming-of-age story.
Performance will feature a live orchestra.
