""In 1959, Yuri Grigorovich recreated his successful 1957 Kirov staging of The Stone Flower for the Bolshoi Ballet. The new version became the acclaimed centerpiece of the Bolshoi's first U.S. tour in that same year, featuring the stars of the premiere, Vladimir Vasiliev and Ekaterina Maximova as the lovers Danila and Katerina. Set to Prokofiev's last score for the ballet, The Stone Flower is regarded by Russian dancers, choreographers and critics as one of the greatest of Russian ballets. The compelling libretto, set by the composer's wife, derives from the book The Malachite Casket by P. Bazhov who based his stories on miners' tales from the Ural Mountains. In 1979, Maximova and Vasiliev were reunited for a gala performance at Moscow's Bolshoi Theater"--Container."
"The story of Danila's obsession with making the most perfect and natural object from malachite (as symbolized by the image of the stone flower)."@en
"The Stone Flower is the last ballet for which Prokofiev wrote music, and is based on a fairy tale story from the Urals, a mixture of real-life scenes and fantastic dreams, of classical dance and folk choreography. Features the Kirov Ballet."@en
