"Homage to Fokine opens with 'Chopiniana', a ballet of ethereal beauty displaying the Company's corps de ballet to stunning effect.

In complete contrast, mediaeval Russia is evoked in the powerful splendour of Mikhail Fokine's 'The Firebird', created for Diaghilev's Ballet Russes to Stravinsky's brilliant score. The final work in the programme Scheherazade is another extraordinary work created for the Ballet Russes."
