The San Diego Ballet lights up the stage with the daring combination of folklore and hip hop, Firebird. The ancient tale of a magical bird of fire comes to life under Javier Velasco's direction, uniting modern/ballet fusion staging, classical dancers and hip hop artists for a performance brimming with originality and kinetic energy. Joplin re-examines the music of Scott Joplin and the heart of ragtime. Dancers introduce an extra level of freedom and personal connection to this piece, bringing fresh complexities to the classical ballet form. See the innovative dual show at the Lyceum Stage in San Diego.
