When it was originally performed in 1913, The Rite of Spring, a collaboration of Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky, scandalised the audience with its audacious music and controversial subject matter.

To mark the 100th anniversary of this pioneering work, Stanton Welch will honor the tradition of artistic collaboration with his own Le Sacre du printemps, a world premiere featuring art by the famed Australian painter Rosella Namok.

The program also features a world premiere by Edwaard Liang, an internationally renowned choreographer making his debut in Houston, and Pacific, a joyous and beautiful ballet by celebrated American choreographer Mark Morris.
