Ballet Ariel to Present FIREBIRD in April
Ballet Ariel will add another original, magical ballet to its repertoire with the premiere of Firebird.

Ballet Ariel's production is an intriguing fusion of Michel Fokine's original choreography and Artistic Director Ilena Norton's reimagining of this ancient Slavic fairy tale set in an enchanted, shadowy forest.
