A Ballet Double Bill at Dubai Opera

From 24 to 26 April 2026, Dubai Opera proudly presents The Firebird / Petrushka, an extraordinary ballet double bill performed by the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. This landmark production pays tribute to the revolutionary genius of Igor Stravinsky, bringing two of his most iconic scores to life through bold contemporary choreography. 🎼🔥

In The Firebird, choreographer Maša Kolar reimagines Stravinsky’s 1919 suite as a symbolic and dreamlike journey of power, transformation, and transcendence. Myth and movement intertwine as Prince Ivan navigates a poetic world of metamorphosis and human longing. 🌙✨

Edward Clug’s Petrushka offers a visually arresting and emotionally charged reinterpretation of the tragic puppet’s tale. Echoing the spirit of the Ballets Russes while embracing modern minimalism, this production explores identity, alienation, and the fragility of the human condition with striking expressiveness. 🎭🖤

Together, these masterworks create an evening of exceptional artistic depth — where heritage meets innovation and ballet reaffirms its timeless, evolving power. Proudly supported by Van Cleef & Arpels. 💎
