Welcome to the fantastical world of Firebird.

Be the first to experience the premiere of Miami City Ballet’s Firebird, a thrilling new production of a beloved classic. Inspired by Russian folklore, this unique vision reveals all the drama and magic at the heart of one of the world’s greatest fairy tales.

While out hunting, Prince Ivan strays into a mystical realm where the Firebird dwells. Deep in the forest, he encounters a princess and they fall in love. But, mighty forces block their romantic dreams – Ivan’s true love is held in captivity by the evil sorcerer Kastchei. To free her, Ivan must battle Kastchei and his mythical monsters. He calls upon the enchanted Firebird, the only one who has the power to defeat this dark magic…

The magnificent Miami City Ballet dancers, Stravinsky’s sublime score and vivid new costume and projection designs combine to create an exhilarating adventure. This is not a Firebird you’ve seen before, and it won’t be one you’ll soon forget.

See you in the forest.
