It was written for the 1910 Paris season of [[Sergei Diaghilev]]'s [[Ballets Russes]] company; the original choreography was by [[Michel Fokine]], who collaborated with [[Alexandre Benois]] and others on a scenario based on the Russian fairy tales of the magical [[Firebird (Slavic folklore)\|Firebird]] and the blessing and curse it possesses for its owner. Set in the evil immortal [[Koschei]]'s castle, the ballet follows [[Ivan Tsarevich\|Prince Ivan]], who battles Koschei with the help of the Firebird. It was an immediate success, catapulting Stravinsky to international fame and leading to future Diaghilev-Stravinsky collaborations like ''[[Petrushka (ballet)\|Petrushka]]'' (1911) and ''[[The Rite of Spring]]'' (1913). One stage adaptation, by [[Maurice Béjart]], was set during a political revolution; [[John Neumeier]]'s production featured Koschei as a robot. Stravinsky's 1919 concert suite remains the most popular today. A film version with the original choreography was released in 1959. {{TFAFULL\|The Firebird}} ~~:There are several options for an image. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank\|push to talk]]) 14:08, 25 November 2023 (UTC)~~ ::@[[User:Dank\|Dank]], I think that's great.
