The Rite by Heart
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Aurora Orchestra brings its signature Orchestral Theatre approach to Stravinsky’s radical work, harnessing the full power of an orchestra performing from memory.
A riot onstage and off, the premiere of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in 1913 sounded the klaxon for the beginning of modern music.
Now, Aurora Orchestra revives their ‘hair-raisingly exciting’ (Evening Standard) memorised, dramatised and musical exploration of Stravinsky’s riotous score, with actors voicing the words of the composer and his collaborators.
This unique living programme note sets the stage for a performance of the whole ballet entirely from memory, without sheet music, stands or chairs, allowing you to get under the skin of the 20th-century masterpiece.
Winner of the 2024 Golden Prague International Television Festival Grand Prix, this production is not one to be missed.
