Pacific Symphony Celebrates the Rite of Spring With Music, Dance and Film
- Full Price:

Pacific Symphony performs one of Stravinsky's most influential works, The Rite of Spring, in its 100th anniversary year in a program accompanied by ballet and film excerpts. Rite of Spring is a ballet written for Paris' Ballet Russes that represented celebrations and rituals of Spring in pagan Russia. When the ballet premiered in 1913, Stravinski's avant-garde score combined with Vaslav Nijinsky's equally avant-garde choreography nearly caused a riot in the audience and sparked a revolution that changed the course of classical music. In honor of this highly influential piece, Pacific Symphony has put together a program that explores the transition of Russian ballet music from the traditional to the radical, tracing the evolution of music from Tchaikovsky to Stravinsky.

Reviews & Ratings
report as inappropriateThe show was beautifully presented, with fine puppetry, engaging music, and entertaining actors, but the story itself was disappointing. It was not entertaining for younger children--I brought a four year old and six year old and they enjoyed it enough, but were not delighted.
report as inappropriateThe show was great. The puppeteers and singers were amazing; they really brought the show to life. The story was adorable too. It is a small theater; very intimate setting. Because it was a small theater, you can speak to the cast and come up on stage to see the puppets and props after the show. That was a nice treat.
report as inappropriateThis is a children's story, but I found it to be very sweet and whimsical. Children accustomed to hyperkinetic computer-generated explosions and 3-D garbage may not appreciate this play. The puppeteers are very talented and there is a lot of coordination involved in the movements on stage as most everything is visible. The set design is simple yet very clever. It's adorable and heartwarming and I would recommend it.
