Firebird & Petrushka
The Portland Ballet presents John Clifford’s Firebird and Tom Gold’s Petrushka on Thanksgiving weekend.
John Clifford’s retelling of Michel Fokine’s The Firebird tells the enchanting tale of a magical bird and a young prince’s quest to break an evil sorcerer’s spell. With its vibrant costumes, stunning choreography, and Stravinsky’s evocative score, this ballet is a feast for the senses.
Tom Gold’s Petrushka offers a unique twist on the classic tale of three puppets. Set at the Heathman Hotel in the glamorous 1950s, Petrushka loves a dazzling lounge singer, who happens to love a dashing doorman. Searching for freedom and acceptance Petrushka’s timeless story is brought to life with fresh energy and inventive staging.
Thank you for coming to watch Firebird & Petrushka this 2024 Thanksgiving weekend.
Stay tuned to see what our Spring Production will be!
