🎬 Le Sacre du Printemps

About

Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) is a ballet score by Igor Stravinsky, first performed in Paris in 1913 by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Its fierce rhythmic drive and dissonant harmonies caused a near-riot at the premiere. It has since become one of the most celebrated and frequently performed works in the orchestral repertoire.
