Streaming 6pm (UK time)
tonight...
In
2019, internationally-acclaimed Haitian
choreographer Jeanguy Saintus
reimagined The Rite of Spring in
Opera North’s first ever collaboration
with Phoenix Dance Theatre.
His
"intoxicatingly good" ★★★★★ (The
Arts Desk) interpretation, set to
Stravinsky’s ground-breaking score,
subverted the original narrative’s
notion of female sacrifice and
approached the work through his own
roots, creating a shared vodou experience
with the dancers.
We're thrilled to be able to share this
NEW film of the production via our
partners OperaVision! Remember
to say 'hello' on the YouTube live chat
during the stream. Also available on demand
for six months.

A quick introduction...
The
Rite of Spring's
premiere went down in history as one of
the greatest theatrical furores of the
20th Century!
Ahead
of the stream, explore what makes
Stravinsky's score so revolutionary,
and the vodou influences behind this
staging...

|
|
|
It's a riot!
Here's
a glimpse of Jeanguy Saintus'
choreography. Sound on to hear the
pulsating rhythms of the 'Augurs of
Spring' performed by the Orchestra of
Opera North under Music Director Garry
Walker.
