The Ice Maiden and The Firebird
Besides being today’s most important classical ballet choreographer, Alexei Ratmansky (born in St Petersburg) is also one of the main criticasters of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Following the staging of his Giselle in The Hague last year, for the hastily founded United Ukrainian Ballet, Dutch National Ballet is now presenting two of his most successful and imaginative ballets: his dazzling Firebird and the European premiere of the poetic The Fairy’s Kiss. Both are set to the magisterial music of Igor Stravinsky.
