Stravinsky showed his true colours in The Firebird. In this coruscating ballet music he unleashed for the first time the vivid colours that would captivate generations of theatre-goers. He had the perfect subject matter in the compelling story of the young Prince Ivan outwitting the evil sorcerer Kashchey and freeing the 13 enchanted Princesses with the help of the magical Firebird. Tianyi Lu also conducts the 麻豆约拍 Symphony Orchestra in Puccini鈥檚 effortlessly lyrical Preludio sinfonico, Dukas鈥檚 retelling of The Sorcerer鈥檚 Apprentice tale and a new Cello Concerto by Francisco Coll, powered by dances ranging from the tango to the waltz.
