Though he left Russia for good in 1914, Russia never left Stravinsky.
In these three tales, he looks back nostalgically to the country of his birth: in a pantomime-like burlesque about the Fox, the Cock, the Tomcat and the Ram; in a little opera buffa based on a comic poem by Pushkin, which playfully recalls the music of Glinka and Tchaikovsky; and in a glorious celebration, tinged with sadness, of a Russian peasant wedding.
Royal Festival Hall at 6pm. An introduction to the evening concert. Free.
