| Les Siècles | |
| François-Xavier Roth | Conductor |
An evening of riot and revolution in dance music
from the court of Louis XIV to the Ballets Russes.
François-Xavier Roth directs Les Siècles in the
first period-instrument performance at the Proms
of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, marking the work’s
centenary. Suites from Lully’s piquant social comedy
Le bourgeois gentilhomme, Rameau’s Les Indes
galantes, Delibes’s Coppélia and Massenet’s
Moorish romance Le Cid provide more than
two centuries of historical context for the
work that scandalised and galvanised Paris
at its 1913 premiere.
Tickets £9.50 - £46.
