Stravinsky's The Firebird
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Conductor Vasily Petrenko leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Eric Lu in Grieg’s Piano Concerto before conjuring Stravinsky’s irresistible fairy tale.
The darkness lies heavily on the demon-king Kastchei’s shadow kingdom – so heavily that you can almost hear it and feel the air shimmer.
Suddenly, there’s a flash, and with a dazzling cascade of sound, an adventure begins.
Stravinsky’s The Firebird is one of the great musical fairy tales; a story that Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are delighted to retell tonight.
And there’s a reason why Grieg’s Piano Concerto is one of the world’s favourites, too. Melodies this good always feel fresh, and never fresher than when they’re played by Eric Lu, the winner of the 2025 Chopin Piano Competition, who’s taking the world by storm.
First, though, ancient passions burn beneath the tranquillity of the English countryside in Butterworth’s haunting rhapsody. This should be something special.
