The Firebird and The Four Seasons
The evening featuring Malandain Ballet Biarritz and the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra begins with *The Firebird*, danced to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic music. Here, Malandain highlights the work’s timeless themes—light, hope, and transformation—in a neoclassical interpretation where the dance embodies Stravinsky’s sparkling rhythms and dramatic palette.
Act Two features *The Four Seasons*, a playful and magnificent choreographic tapestry by two Baroque masters: Antonio Vivaldi and the lesser-known but brilliant Giovanni Antonio Guido. The music moves from the familiar to the surprising, creating a rich, poetic backdrop for Malandain’s harmonious and energetic choreography. An evening that uplifts, moves, and lingers in the memory.
