Summary
Christopher Wheeldon rehearses members of the Boston Ballet in his version of The firebird. In the first 30 min. of the tape, he works on an excerpt involving Ivan, the princess, the Firebird and Kastchei. A dress rehearsal of most of the ballet follows. The entrance of the monsters does not appear on this tape, and there are numerous interruptions and repetitions. The role of the Firebird is danced by Aleksandra Koltun, possibly with Yuri Yanowsky as Ivan.
