The Firebird / Petrushka | 26 Apr 2026 - 5 PM

The Firebird / Petrushka at Dubai Opera presents a remarkable ballet double bill by the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, running from 24 to 26 April 2026, celebrating the legacy of Igor Stravinsky through two of his most iconic works reimagined by contemporary choreographers. This compelling programme pairs The Firebird, where Maša Kolar offers a modern, symbolic interpretation of the classic tale, exploring transformation and human desire through an abstract, dreamlike lens, with Petrushka, in which Edward Clug delivers a visually striking and emotionally rich retelling of the tragic puppet’s story, delving into themes of identity and alienation with minimalist yet expressive movement. Together, these masterworks create an evening of artistic depth that bridges heritage and modernity, highlighting the enduring evolution of ballet and its power to resonate with contemporary audiences.
