About the Event

While hunting, a prince enters the garden of an evil sorcerer and captures the firebird that lives there. When he releases it at its plea, he receives one of its magical feathers as a gift in gratitude. It will save his life… Whether as a complete ballet or in the form of various suites for the concert hall, The Firebird is one of Igor Stravinsky's most dazzling and popular musical creations. But what musical secrets lie behind the fusion of two Russian folk tales and their fantastical, imaginative interpretation? In his debut as a composer, the young Spanish conductor Julio García Vico deciphers them in his usual manner together with Albert Hosp – a brilliant preview of the subscription program in late fall.
