The Rite of Spring – Singapore Symphony Orchestra

Dates: 3 December 2010
Venue: Esplanade Concert Hall
Website: http://www.sso.org.sg/…
About the event: At its 1913 premiere, the Rite of Spring elicited shouting and fistfights, as much because of the staging as for Stravinsky’s revolutionary score. It was not long before Stravinsky was carried on the shoulders of a wildly enthusiastic audience through the streets of Paris after a concert performance. The Rite has since become a staple of the concert repertoire, popularized in part by Walt Disney’s Fantasia. It retains the power to shock, and if you have never heard it in concert before, this concert conducted by Okko Kamu should not be missed. Equally unmissable is the return of Wang Jian, one of the finest exponents of the cello, performing Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No. 1. The concert opens with Prokofiev’s tongue-in-cheek symphonic tribute to the classical masters.

Walking with Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular
