François-Xavier Roth conducts “Le Sacre du printemps”
The premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps triggered the greatest theatrical scandal of the 20th century. The ballet’s narrative of primitive rituals, ecstatic rhythms, and jarring music shocked audiences – and cemented the composer’s reputation. A new work by Ondřej Adámek pays tribute to Pierre Boulez on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Boulez himself is represented by his Rituel in memoriam Bruno Maderna, which achieves a spectacular sound effect with eight instrumental groups arranged throughout the auditorium. François-Xavier Roth conducts.
