The Rite of Spring

Le Sacre du printemps (English: The Rite of Spring; Russian: Весна священная) is a ballet with music by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. While the Russian title literally means Spring the Sacred, the English title is based on the French title under which the work was premiered, although sacre is more precisely translated as consecration. It has the subtitle "Pictures from Pagan Russia."
