Today is the 95th anniversary of the 1913 premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (famous as the thunderclap of modernism and, in part, for causing a riot. Read more). In honor of that anniversary (and not of the riot), here is a clip of the Joffrey Ballet's recreation of that 1913 production. Hang in there through the credits and just enjoy the overture.
