In this episode, we talk about the infamous riots from the premiere of the Rite of Spring, which starred: Rich People Getting Mad About Things. We also give a glimpse into the badass life and music of triple threat, mom of 4, and composer extraordinaire, Barbara Strozzi (aka the Original Babs). Watch the Joffrey Ballet’s restoration of the ballet as it would have been for the 1913 premiere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8TQH-5Vrhk&t=145s Like us, follow us, and email us!
