Prepare to be blown away! When The Rite of Spring was premiered in 1913 it caused a riot. We’d rather you didn’t rip the chairs out today, but there’s no question – with Thomas Søndergård conducting – Stravinsky’s revolutionary ballet still packs an unforgettable punch. With a subversive new showpiece from Glasgow’s own David Fennessy and the astounding young American violinist Stefan Jackiw exploring Britten’s brooding Violin Concerto, join us as our new Season gets off to an explosive start.

Supported by the RSNO Conductors’ Circle.

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.

RSNO season begins with marvellous Britten but too pristine Stravinsky

Simon Thompson, 30th September

Stefan Jackiw makes Britten's Violin Concerto sing, but Thomas Søndergård's RSNO Rite of Spring is too well-behaved and David Fennessy's Riot Act is dull.
