About this event

An evening of riot and revolution in dance music from the court of Louis XIV to the Ballets Russes. Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth directs Les Si猫cles in the first period-instrument performance at the 成人论坛 Proms of Stravinsky鈥檚 The Rite of Spring, marking the work鈥檚 centenary.

Suites from Lully鈥檚 piquant social comedy Le bourgeois gentilhomme, Rameau鈥檚 Les Indes galantes, Delibes鈥檚 颁辞辫辫茅濒颈补 and Massenet鈥檚 Moorish romance Le Cid provide more than two centuries of historical context for the work that scandalised and galvanised Paris at its 1913 premiere.
