This ballet is based on the Russian folk tale of the Firebird. Igor Stravinsky used the beloved story as the inspiration for his musical score. The Firebird ballet tells of Prince Ivan who defeats the evil Kastchei with the help of the magical Firebird. She offers one of her enchanted feathers to Prince Ivan after he spares her life while hunting in the forest. The feather is later used by Prince Ivan to summon the Firebird when he needs her help as Kastchei’s bizarre creatures capture him. The Firebird’s magic makes Kastchei and his creatures fall into a deep sleep so that Prince Ivan can destroy the egg containing Kastchei’s soul. This frees all who had been under his spell including thirteen princesses, one of which is the beautiful Tsarevna, with whom Prince Ivan falls in love with and marries.
Choreographed by Mikhail Fokine
Dancers: Margot Fonteyn as the Firebird and Michael Somes as Prince Ivan

Thank you for posting. I have this in both commercial tape and dvd format, however it is always good to have an additional format. Of course Margot is wonderful (breathtaking in all the films I have of her), but let us not forget dear Michael Somes ... elegant, steadfast, a gentleman and selfless in the way he presents his ballerinas, the most wonderful partner and a true danseur noble of the older school.

Wow! I didn't expect Fonteyn to wear the role of the Firebird so well! She' s marvelous, and unexpectedly quite athletic too! Thanks for posting.

She always was,"athletic," but not a gymnast, lyrical rather than virtuoso.

Che bellezza, grazia e bravura insuperabili, è stata una grande ed adorabile ballerina ...non vedo nessuna comparabile a lei tra le giovani promessa della danza , alcune gelidi mostri di bravura, con stupendi fisici forti come l''acciaio, tanto più sono perfette , tanto più sono prive di anima.

Марго удивительно хороша, женственна, грациозна, и в то же время движения быстрые, даже резкие, у нее удивительно выверены все движения, не зря её называли "Абсолюта".Идеал женской красоты в балете. Для меня она самая лучшая, ей нет равных, она номер 1 !!! ❤ Спасибо за публикацию!

Thank you ,thank you. What a glorious Firebird Fonteyn is, as Karsavina said, who coached Fonteyn, "No human emotion here!"

You are most welcome, I very much enjoyed making the video. Glad you did as well.

"Firebird is proud, arrogant...she gives the feather only to buy her freedom, not help the Prince". Fonteyn captured that spirit perfectly here.

She truly did. No dying swan was the red bird!!

I had to think of the fotos we have of Karsavina in this role all the time while watching this. Now here is the explanation why! This would be the closest we can get to an original Ballets Russes performance I guess. Amazing!
