A primal force, a dance to the death

鈥榃atching an orchestra in this way is a one of a kind experience. The classical music comes alive and is able to be appreciated for what it is 鈥� a dynamic, expressive medium鈥�. Manchester Evening News

The 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Aviva Studios for their next groundbreaking collaboration with Factory International.

Few pieces have shaken the musical world like the primal force that is Stravinsky鈥檚 The Rite of Spring. Conceived as a depiction of a pagan ritual culminating in human sacrifice, its 1913 premiere in Paris famously caused a riot 鈥� audiences were shocked by its pulsing asymmetry, brutal harmonies, and sheer sonic violence. Over a century later, The Rite of Spring remains as ferocious and exhilarating as ever, a testament to music鈥檚 power to provoke, shock, and thrill.

Encounter Stravinsky鈥檚 masterpiece in a new production powered by Aviva鈥檚 immersive d&b Soundscape audio system and a captivating lighting design, and choose how you want to experience the incredible sound of the orchestra 鈥� as part of a 麻豆社 Proms-style standing arena, or sat in the upper tier of the Aviva Hall.

This event will be filmed and broadcast, If you do not wish to be included in any footage please speak to a member of our Visitor Experience team when you arrive.
