Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird”: London City Ballet at the Sadler’s Wells

From October 22 to 24, London City Ballet returns to Sadler’s Wells with Firebird – A Double Bill, presenting two landmark works in a striking programme.

The evening opens with Ghost Light by renowned choreographer John Neumeier. Performed for the first time outside Hamburg Ballet, the piece reflects on the spirits of performers who once inhabited the stage, evoking the lingering presence of artists long after the curtain falls. International star ballerina Alina Cojocaru appears as Guest Artist in all performances.

The second half features Glen Tetley’s gothic interpretation of The Firebird set to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic score. The ballet tells the story of a young woman breaking free from the constraints of a controlling family and embracing her independence.
