    Ballet San Jose is dedicated to making the art of ballet available to everyone.  That is why we have developed a whole series of ballet programs for young audiences called the 'Children's Matinee.' 

    This show, entitled The Firebird is dance set to a groundbreaking score by Igor Stravinsky.  This Russian fairy tale tells of a prince who captures the mysterious Firebird. To gain her release, the Firebird gives the prince a feather, with the promise of her magic intercession if he should ever need it. Little does he realize how soon he will have to call on her, and how many people she will be asked to save from the monstrous ruler of the enchanted forest, The Immortal Kastchei.  An abstract, joyful ballet undertaken in the classical style, the piece progresses through four movements that culminate in a lively saltarello.
