Stravinsky: Petrouchka · 24.04.2026 · Flagey
Joan Tower’s Sequoia opens with raw energy. Like the giant tree it’s named after, the music grows in strength and complexity — a pulsing current of rhythm and sound. In Camille Pépin’s Les Eaux célestes, the orchestra transforms into light and air. Sparkling, fluid, and full of nuance, her music evokes a world that feels both delicate and radiant. After the break, Stravinsky’s Petrouchka erupts: a vibrant ballet in four scenes. A fairground, three puppets, a tragic fate — and an orchestra that bubbles, skips, snaps, and sings.
