Stravinsky and the Ballets Russes

Show & Culture

Enter the enchanted world of Russian folklore. The unique partnership between Igor Stravinsky and impresario Serge Diaghilev with his Ballets Russes was decisive for 20th-century music. The Boston Symphony Orchestra will no doubt give you chills as they present L'Oiseau de feu and its world of dark magic and heroism. In Petrouchka, despair and tragedy play out in the seemingly harmless setting of a puppet show at the carnival. Not everything may end well.
