1 videocassette (119 min.) : sd., col. NTSC; 1/2 in. (VHS)
Summary
Christopher Wheeldon rehearses members of the Boston Ballet in his version of The firebird. The first 19 min. of this tape continue a rehearsal of the ensemble of princesses begun on *MGZIA 4-5007. The ensuing footage was recorded at a run-through of the ballet, with many dancers in full or partial costume. After working with different groups and individuals, Wheeldon begins the run-through at ca. 58 min. into the tape. There are numerous interruptions and repetitions, and the tape ends before the ballet's conclusion. For the continuation of the run-through, see *MGZIA 4-5013. Among the dancers are Adriana Suárez (the Firebird), Simon Ball (Ivan), and Larissa Ponomarenko (the Princess).
