Half Six Fix: Stravinsky's Pulcinella: Pulcinella Stravinsky

Grab a drink and savour the perfect balance of sweet and bitter in Stravinsky’s time-warp drama for three voices.

The Programme
Enjoy a quirky, romantic, commedia-del-arte fantasy in this early-evening performance.

In 1919, Russian impresario Diaghilev commissioned Stravinsky to put his own spin on 200-year-old music for a new ballet. ‘When he said that the composer was Pergolesi, I thought he must be deranged.’

But Stravinsky was surprised by what he found in the earlier composer’s music: ‘I looked, and I fell in love.’ From an unlikely beginning, Stravinsky whipped up a delicious ballet featuring three solo singers, and added a dash of 20th-century irony. For the first performance, Picasso did the sets.

The Performers
Known for her ground-breaking interpretations, LSO Associate Artist Barbara Hannigan conducts a trio of charismatic performers. Fleur Barron, Charles Sy and Antoin Herrera-López Kessel bring this drama of thwarted love to life.
