The Firebird

This Saturday I sat and watched the Royal Ballet's 2002 production of The Firebird on BOB national. It was really interesting as they had a foreword which spoke about the origins of the ballet and the designs (originally by Baskt). I found the production intriguing as this version has reverted to the more classical tutu whereas in the original Baskt had been very keen to move away from such conventionality. It is perhaps a piece which I would like to develop and study further in third year as I feel it has great potential for development and creavity.
