Kirill Petrenko conducts “The Miraculous Mandarin” and “Petrushka”
Chief conductor Kirill Petrenko presents dance music from the 20th century: in the ballet The Miraculous Mandarin, Béla Bartók employs expressionistically sharpened sounds to describe the mercilessness of city life, in which humanity no longer has a place. Igor Stravinsky’s Petrushka tells the bittersweet love story of a puppet set in the midst of a bustling fairground. Finally, Leoš Janáček celebrates the melancholy yet lively folk music of his Czech homeland in his Lachian Dances.
