Stravinsky double – a ballet evening that shakes Augsburg

On Thursday, May 28, 2026, music history meets live atmosphere in Augsburg: The Augsburg State Theater combines Igor Stravinsky's iconic works 'The Wedding' and 'The Rite of Spring' into an electrifying concert experience at martini-Park. Precise orchestration, archaic rhythm, and a captivating stage performance merge into an evening that ignites the audience's mood from the very first beat.

An evening with two milestones

'The Wedding' captivates with its rugged, choral-driven sound language and the uncompromising synchronization of dance and percussion. 'The Rite of Spring' – premiered in 1913 as a scandal – unleashes an elemental power of pulse, accent, and eruptive dynamism even today. Both scores are considered catalysts of modernity and are reference works for choreography and sound of the 20th century.

Live atmosphere in martini-Park

The industrial architecture of martini-Park enhances the acoustics: dry, direct sound, clear contours in the brass, powerful timpani, and finely chiseled woodwind colors. The ensemble utilizes the depth of the stage for strong tableaux, rapid formations, and precise conducting – a concert experience to be felt.

Context and classification

Stravinsky's 'Rite' profoundly influenced dance history; 'The Wedding' condenses folk rituals into modern choreography. Reviews and history confirm: These works mark the turning point from late romantic excess to rhythmic modernity – relevant, radical, timeless.
