It is hard to imagine today: in 1926, after the premiere of the ballet “The Miraculous Mandarin” in Cologne, the then mayor Konrad Adenauer banned the work because of its “immoral” plot. The “Mandarin” paints a picture of the modern city, which was not always idyllic in 1920. Arabella Steinbacher has been one of the world’s most famous violinists for years. She works regularly with orchestras in New York, Boston, Chicago, Leipzig, NDR Elbphilharmonie and the BRSO in Munich.

Lara Barsacq (Charleroi danse) and her troupe take ownership of some major works written for Serge de Diaghilev between 1909 and 1929, paying tribute in their contemporary language to one of the most glorious periods in the history of dance. In this performance accompanied by the OPRL, the choreographer also alludes to a muse of the past who has nourished her and remains a constant source of inspiration: Ida Rubinstein, the muse adored by Diaghilev. Her memory infuses the show with energy and audacity, making it an ode to women and freedom.

OPRL+ Dance: The Fabulous Destiny of the Ballets Russes

Salle Philharmonique de Liège

During the annual Elisabeth Week, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra celebrates a laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. This year’s guest is Sergei Redkin, second prize winner in 2021. Redkin takes us through the music of Prokofiev, a highlight of his repertoire. He performs the Third Piano Concerto – a dynamic dialogue between pianist and orchestra, culminating in a fiery finale. Under the baton of Valentin Uryupin, an expert in Russian repertoire, the orchestra also brings to life Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, a symphonic poem full of vibrant orchestration and the sensuous world of One Thousand and One Nights.
