The Firebird is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, written for the 1910 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company. The original choreography was by Michel Fokine, working from a scenario based on Russian fairy tales about the Firebird and the blessing and curse it brings its owner. It was first performed at the Opera de Paris on 25 June 1910 and was an immediate success, launching Stravinsky to international fame and leading to his later Diaghilev collaborations Petrushka and The Rite of Spring.
