The Rite of Spring
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The London Philharmonic Orchestra invokes the rhythmic power and primal energy of the Stravinsky work that changed the course of modern music.
Paris, 1913, and Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring causes one of the most infamous opening night scandals in musical history.
It wasn’t just that a riot broke out at the premiere, either – Stravinsky’s volcanic score is so explosive that over a century later, we’re still reeling from the aftershock.
But then, things do tend to catch fire when Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis conducts the LPO.
Expect grand passions in Lili Boulanger’s sensuous Faust et Hélène, and dark emotion in Stravinsky’s Funeral Song: the long-lost, newly rediscovered masterpiece that received its UK premiere as recently as 2017.

Stravinsky: Funeral Song, Op.5
L Boulanger: Faust et Hélène - cantata
Interval
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring
