The Rite of Spring || Behind the scenes The Rite of Spring’s 1913 premiere shocked Paris audiences of the time, evoking more controversy and wielding more influence than almost any other piece of music or dance in history. Nicolo Fonte’s 2014 version maintains the power and drama of the original, pairing Stravinsky’s iconic score with a libretto that dives into themes of community, ritual sacrifice and birth and re-birth in subtle and abstract ways.

WHY I STARTED BALLET ✨. RITE OF SPRING….. Honestly full testament to my dad for playing it non stop in our living room since I was 2. He used to put it on and we would have a game of if we can jump on the beat or not and I used to get it nearly every time instinctually after listening to it a few times. If you don’t know it that’s hard! It’s a piece of music close to my heart because it literally reminds me of my child hood growing up in Islington right outside the old football grounds of Arsena
