The Firebird

Accompanied by the West Texas Symphony

March 29 & 30, 2025
at the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center

We’re bringing you not just one, but three exciting ballets! We’ll begin with rattling tambourines and rustling tutus of Nadia Thompson’s Grand Tarantella. Next, feel the rythmn and the rhyme with all the animals in Pearl Wamsley’s award winning contemporary ballet, The Incredible Petes. Finally, we’ll join Prince Ivan as his search for golden apples becomes a much grander adventure in our featured ballet, George Skibine’s The Firebird. This Russian fairytale has it all: magical creatures, daring battles, an enchanted forest, an imprisoned princess - you don’t want to miss it.
