Riotous Rite
It’s time to don those x-ray specs and enter once again into the incredible world of Naked Classics, the RSNO’s revolutionary concert series – perfect for anyone who wants to explore the world’s greatest music.
Presenter Paul Rissmann introduces each masterwork using innovative visuals, lighting effects, on-stage inteviews and musical extracts from the orchestra. Then you can sit back and enjoy the whole work played through in all its glory.
I predict a riot! Not what you’d expect in the rarefied atmosphere of a concert hall but that’s what happened when the world first experienced (and what an experience it is!) the full might and power of Stravinsky’s sensational ballet, the Rite of Spring. Whistles, shouts, fistfights and then a full-on riot broke out at its premiere in 1913.
Nearly one hundred years later, and though the work is comfortably part of any world-class orchestra’s repertoire, the Rite still sounds sensationally fresh, brutal, shocking and wonderfully invigorating.
Shed all your inhibitions and join Paul and a HUGE orchestra as they take a dip into one of the most influential pieces of the 20th century…but please leave your boxing gloves at home!
