Live from Symphony Hall, Birmingham
The CBSO and Andris Nelsons open their new season with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Wagner's Tannh盲user Overture.
Wagner: Tannh盲user - Overture
Wagner: Wesendonck Lieder
8.15: Interval
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring
Kristine Opolais, soprano
CBSO
Andris Nelsons, conductor
When The Rite of Spring was premiered in Paris in 1913, it caused a riot. But 100 years on Stravinsky's revolutionary ballet will still make an electrifying opening to the CBSO's new season. Andris Nelsons conducts it for the first time, and joins his wife Kristine Opolais in music close to both their hearts - Wagner's star-crossed Wesendonck Lieder, and the piece that first made him fall in love with music: the overture to Tannh盲user.
