The Firebird and Petrushka

Book your tickets for The Firebird and Petrushka, a compelling ballet double bill performed by the Croatian National Theatre at Dubai Opera from 24-26 April. This striking production pays homage to the legendary composer Igor Stravinsky, reimagining two of his most celebrated works through the contemporary visions of acclaimed choreographers Maša Kolar and Edward Clug.

Kolar’s The Firebird reinterprets the iconic fairy tale as a powerful, abstract journey of magic and transformation, set to Stravinsky’s 1919 suite, while Clug’s Petrushka offers a visually arresting take on the tragic puppet’s tale. The evening blends heritage with innovation, delivering a memorable showcase of storytelling, artistry and movement.
