›Debüt im Deutschlandfunk Kultur‹
A puppet is brought to life, but is then plagued by bothersome human feelings like love, jealousy and anger … and dies again. That’s the story of Petrushka from Stravinsky’s ballet of the same name from 1911. A Russian cousin of Pinocchio? Well yes, but without the happy ending of a Disney film, not spun out of sugar, like candy floss, which didn’t yet exist in St. Petersburg in the 1830s, where the tragic story takes place. But instead, delightful fun fair music, Russian folk songs and dances. All in the scope of the ›Debut‹ series, where you can experience tomorrow’s stars today with the DSO.
