Synopsis

Several Russian folk tales are fused together in this charming and magical adventure for young and old alike.

Prince Ivan's mission to capture the Firebird takes him first to the castle of Koschei, the sorcerer, from whom the Firebird has been stolen by the wicked Baba Yaga.

With a soft-hearted Wolf and the wooden-hearted Princess Vasilisa (bewitched by Koschei) accompanying him, Ivan travels on to Baba Yaga's hut where the final struggle commences...

Music, magic, puppetry and comedy infuse this delightful story which is ideal as a seasonal entertainment or even, with its predominantly forest setting, as an outdoor show.
