(i know, i know, im rubbing it in.) in conclusion, i am not especially pleased with this purchase, however, i have heard it said that good art is supposed to make you feel something. and sitting thru les noces induced a repulsiveness in me that i do not normally associate with the fine art of ballet. so maybe it has achieved what the authors set out to do and i have just witnessed a masterpiece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Firebird! *by J***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2008* The five stars are for The Firebird. Excellent! I've always loved the Firebird Suite music, and finally I got to see what it's all about. Excellent dancing, staging, choreography, story, and music! The shorter Les Noces is too modern for me (even though it was choreographed a long time ago). I just don't get it (I also don't get Modern Art (unless it simply appeals to the eye by its color and shape, which this ballet does not)). I first watched the short documentary about rehearsing the first showing of it, which was presided over by the creator of the Les Noces (minus its music), Madame Nijinska, and then watched the shorter documentary of the current show's rehearsal of it, so I knew what I was getting into. But it was still just noise and syncopated movement to me. But the DVD is worth buying for The Firebird. In fact, I believe this version belongs in every balletomane's collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7542736-stravinsky-the-firebird-and-les-noces-royal-ballet](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7542736-stravinsky-the-firebird-and-les-noces-royal-ballet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
