The Rite of Spring (MacMillan)
''The Rite of Spring'' is a one-act ballet created by Kenneth MacMillan in 1962 for the Royal Ballet. The music is Igor Stravinsky's ''The Rite of Spring'' (1913). The conductor was Colin Davis; the designs were by Sidney Nolan.
The first performance was given at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on 3 May 1962. The central role of the Chosen One was danced by Monica Mason who continued to tale the part in revivals up to 1982. Mason supervised later revivals, in which the Chosen One was danced by, among others, Tamara Rojo, (2005 and 2008) Mara Galeazzi (2005), Zenaida Yanowsky (2005), Steven McRae (2011) and Edward Watson (2011).〔("The Rite of Spring (1962)" ), Royal Opera House Collections Online, retrieved 9 October 2014〕
==Background==
MacMillan had been invited to create a new production of ''The Rite of Spring'' for the Royal Ballet in 1959, but had declined.〔Parry, p. 219〕 The company had little history of presenting Stravinsky ballets, with the exceptions of Ashton's ''Le baiser de la fée'' (1935) and ''Scènes de ballet'' (1948) and MacMillan's ''Dances concertantes'' (1955), ''Agon'' (1958) and ''Le baiser de la fée'' (1961).〔Jordan, p. 34〕 MacMillan took ''The Rite'' up in 1962, creating a work conspicuously removed from the Royal Ballet's classical tradition. His conception of the piece, supported by Sidney Nolan's designs, was what the commentator Stephanie Jordan calls "a generalized primitivism".〔
The scenario generally follows that of the original 1913 ballet, with minor changes such as the replacement of the Sage with three Elders, and bringing two key plot points forward in the action: the selection of the chosen one and the start of her sacrificial dance.〔Jordan, p. 35〕
