Les Noces (Svadebka) (The Wedding)
...At the same time, as part of the commemoration of the re-opening of the Hermitage Amsterdam and part of the widespread centenary celebrations of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, there will be a premiere on August 15 of the completion of Stravinsky’s substantial draft for Les Noces, abandoned as impractical by the composer in 1919. The composer Theo Verbey has addressed the considerable challenges of the task of the arrangement of this draft, which was scored for two cimbaloms, harmonium, pianola and two percussion, often considered closer to Stravinsky’s original sound concept than the now standard four-piano arrangement. The stage production will have new choreography and is part of a larger narrative in which, following the wedding, the guests will be entertained by a performance of The Soldier’s Tale.
