[PAR] [TLE] The Rite of Spring [SEP] The Rite of Spring (French: Le Sacre du printemps ; Весна священная, "Vesna svyashchennaya", "sacred spring" ) is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.  It was written for the 1913 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company; the original choreography was by Vaslav Nijinsky, with stage designs and costumes by Nicholas Roerich.  When first performed, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 29 May 1913, the avant-garde nature of the music and choreography caused a sensation and a near-riot in the audience.  Although designed as a work for the stage, with specific passages accompanying characters and action, the music achieved equal if not greater recognition as a concert piece, and is widely considered to be one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century.
