    THE FIREBIRD

    Danced to a groundbreaking score by Igor Stravinsky, this Russian fairy tale tells of a prince who captures the mysterious Firebird. To gain her release, the Firebird gives the prince a feather, with the promise of her magic intercession if he should ever need it. Little does he realize how soon he will have to call on her, and how many people she will be asked to save from the monstrous ruler of the enchanted forest, The Immortal Kastchei. When Dennis Nahat’s version of the classic story had its world premiere in October, 2005 it won rave reviews and audience acclaim. With three-dimensional scenery and dynamic costumes by Ian Falconer that range from the beautiful to the ghoulish, this FIREBIRD will wow adults and children alike with its passion, its drama and its magic.

    芭蕾舞剧《火鸟》由新古典主义音乐巨匠戈尔•斯特拉文斯基作曲，根据一个古老的俄罗斯传说编剧。故事讲述了英俊的王子伊凡在丛林中捕捉到了神奇的火鸟，火鸟用一根羽毛换回了自由，并许下诺言如果王子遇上危险只要他拿出那条羽毛它便会前来帮助他。王子感到很快他就会呼唤火鸟，解救囚禁在灵异森林中被施诅咒的人。

    由Dennis Nahat’s改编的经典故事不朽的Kastchei于2005年10月首次公演，赢得业界的好评和观众的赞誉。由Ian Falcone设计的三维舞台布景和动感十足的服装，使得《火鸟》变得梦幻又神奇，同时激起了成人观众和儿童观众的热情。

    MENDELSSOHN SYMPHONY  门得尔松 交响乐
    Set to Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, “The Italian”, Nahat creates a memorable work (first performed by American Ballet Theatre in 1971) by showcasing his signature style of varied tempos and rhythms. An abstract, joyful ballet undertaken in the classical style, the piece progresses through four movements that culminate in a lively saltarello.

    根据门得尔松第四交响乐（意大利），Nahat创作了不朽的作品多变的节奏和旋律，展示了他标志性的艺术风格，欢快的芭蕾与经典的风格相融合，通过四个情节，达到高潮。
