Eugene
Ballet once made its Hult Center debut with Stravinsky's Firebird.
Originally commissioned by impresario Diaghilev for the Ballet
Russes, this folklore-based ballet became an international success

Stravinsky ballets, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring.
Back in the Silva Hall, Firebird is choreographed by
Toni Pimble. See Saturday Calendar.
Don't
let a recent venue-change fool you. Greg Palast, investigative
journalist and author of the book The Best Democracy Money

Edward Monks takes place in the same week as another progressive
