Stravinsky Ballets

Relish vivid soundscapes as the BSO performs three of Igor Stravinsky’s revolutionary early ballet scores in two consecutive weekends. Stravinsky soared to the forefront of modern music with the magically colorful Firebird, which was quickly followed by the energetic delight of Petrushka. The infamous riot that ensued at The Rite of Spring’s premiere in 1913 may be a testament to this radical masterpiece, which cemented the composer’s place as a leading voice of his time.
