THE RITE OF SPRING
STRAVINSKY
NEW PRODUCTIONS
ENO takes advantage of owning what is arguably London’s finest stage
for dance to present two iconic works of 20th-century art. Following his
South Bank Show Award-winning production of Birtwistle’s Punch &
Judy at the Young Vic, Daniel Kramer makes his London Coliseum debut
directing Bartók’s only opera, with Michaela Martens as the wife who
sacrifices herself in seeking to unlock the secrets of her husband’s bloody
past. Michael Keegan-Dolan directs his Olivier Award-nominated dance
theatre company, Fabulous Beast, in Stravinsky’s darkly ritualistic ballet,
in which a young girl is sacrificed on the altar of her community’s future.
Presiding over a hugely expanded orchestra, ENO Music Director Edward
Gardner conducts what promises to be a doubly explosive evening.
