Stravinsky’s three Russian ballets — The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring — were fruits of their collaborative creative process. In aggregate, these three ballets demonstrate the intensity of the composer’s creative evolution and acutely unexpected stylistic “twists” that would be characteristic for him in future.
