Description:
Sergei Prokofiev's The Stone Flower (Opus 118) is his eighth and last ballet, which he composed between 1948 and 1950. His most famous ballets are Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella and Le Pas d'Acier. The Stone Flower is based on a Russian folk tale from the Ural Mountains. The premiere of the work took place in 1954, one year after the composer's death. The plot of the ballet, rich in myths and legends, takes place against the backdrop of the mystical Ural Mountains and revolves around themes such as love, artistry and the conflict between material wealth and spiritual fulfilment.In 1951, Prokofiev arranged five movements from the ballet, which were later published as the Wedding Suite (Opus 126). The movements are:I. Amorous DanceII. Dance of the fiancée's girlfriendsIII. Maiden's DanceIV. Ceremonial DanceV. Wedding Dance
