€8.00
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to claim that Igor Stravinsky, with his ideas and accomplishments, had not only exerted a very deep influence on the composers of his time and in total on the musical avant-garde of the first decades of the previous century, but he had also decisively contributed to the music developments in the 20th century. His personal trajectory has passed through many phases and if something characterizes it, that is precisely its stylistic diversity. Stravinsky became worldwide known through a series of ballets for which he composed the music.
Τhe triptych of ballets From Russia With Love: Le Sacre du printemps [The Rite of spring, 1913], Le Chant du Rossignol [The nightingale’s song, 1914/1917/1920] and Les noces [The wedding, 1923] was presented in April of 2019 in the Stavros Niarchos Hall at the SNFCC. Three renowned choreographers designed the choreographies: Daphnis Kokkinos of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, distinguished German choreographer Marco Goecke and the Ballet Director of the Greek National Opera, Konstantinos Rigos.
