The Rite of Spring at The Long Center for the Performing Arts

“This music (The Rite of Spring), which was written by Stravinsky in 1913, is some of the greatest music composed in the 20th Century,” Mills said. “It stirs the emotions, in fact, this music evoked such a reaction from the audience at its premiere decades ago in Paris that a riot broke out.” - From Feb 19, 2002 Ballet Austin Press Release

“[The Rite of Spring], which is a full company performance, will tell a story of the ancient tradition of making sacrifices in the spring in order to appease the gods so that they would grant a good crop.” - From Feb 19, 2002 Ballet Austin Press Release
