Performing Rites: how Stravinsky’s Sacre du printemps still shocks

Mark Pullinger, 29th March

Over a century after its premiere, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring still has the power to shock. Vasily Petrenko offers insights, while Tamara Rojo reflects on one of the most powerful choreographies, the version by Pina Bausch.

From the Eiffel Tower to Pagan Russia

Roy Westbrook, 24th September

This superb concert deserved a full house, but there were more bodies on the platform for the Rite of Spring than listeners in the front stalls.
