Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: The Rite of Spring
23 March @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm AEDT
Filled with exciting layered rhythms, rapidly shifting tempos and discordant harmonies, Stravinsky used The Rite of Spring as an opportunity to push his bold musical ideas even further. It culminates with the raw and frenetic rhythms of a sacrificial dance, wild enough to send audiences into an uproar at the first performance.
