Charleston Gaillard Center

Firebird presented by Nashville Ballet featuring the Charleston Symphony - Nashville Ballet returns to the Gaillard stage for the first time in five seasons, bringing a full-length production of Firebird, based on the Russian fairytale of the same name, and Tony Award-winning choreographer Justin Peck’s Year of the Rabbit. Choreographed by Artistic Director Emeritus Paul Vasterling, Firebird is set to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic score which will be performed by the Gaillard’s acclaimed resident orchestra, the Charleston Symphony. The choreographer behind Steven Spielberg’s 2021 West Side Story, Justin Peck’s Year of the Rabbit blends the athleticism of classical ballet with boundary-breaking movement The New York Times hailed as “thrilling,” “poetic,” and “brilliant.”
