Le sacre du printemps (1960)

"What is spring, but this immense primitive force long slumbering under the cloak of winter, that suddenly breaks forth and lights up the world of plant, animal and human? Human love, in its physical aspect, symbolizes the very act by which the divinity created the Cosmos, and the joy that it drew from this ”.
Maurice Béjart

Béjart, Maurice

Maurice Béjart created the Ballet du XXe Siècle in Brussels in 1960, an international company that he directed and with which he toured around the world with, as his repertoire of creations grew: “Boléro” (1961), “Messe pour le temps présent” (1967) and “L'Oiseau de feu” (1970).
In 1987, the Ballet du XXe Siècle became the Béjart Ballet Lausanne. The great choreographer established himself in the Olympic capital. In 1992, he decided to limit the size of his company to around thirty dancers to "rediscover the essence of the performer” and, the same year, he founded the Rudra Béjart School-Workshop. Among the myriad of ballets created for this company, we can mention “Le Mandarin merveilleux”, “King Lear – Prospero”, “À propos de Shéhérazade”, “Le Presbytère...”, “MutationX”, “La Route de la soie”, “Le Manteau”, “Enfant-Roi” and “La Lumière des eaux et Lumière”.
 Director of theatre (“La Reine verte”, “Casta Diva”, “Cinq Nô modernes” and “A-6-Roc”) and opera (“Salomé”, “La Traviata” and “Don Giovanni”), filmmaker (“Bhakti”, “Paradoxe sur le comédien...”), Maurice Béjart also published several books (novels, memoirs, diaries, theatre plays). In 2007, just when he turned eighty, the choreographer created “La Vie du danseur racontée par Zig et Puce”. Maurice Béjart went on to create “Le Tour du monde en 80 minutes”, his last work, and passed away in Lausanne on 22 November 2007.

EuroArts  Music is one of the worldwide leading independent producers and rights  owners of audio-visual classical music programs for TV and DVD.
EuroArts Music International was founded in 1979 by Bernd Hellthaler.  Soon, the company became internationally renowned for the production  and distribution of audio-visual classical music recordings, acclaimed  documentaries, Opera and Ballet films, jazz as well as other music and  art programs for TV and home video.
Today, the company sells the catalogues of EuroArts Music, Stingray,  Montréal and London, Idéale Audience, Paris and Loft, Munich. EuroArts  Music also distributes programs of various independent producers. It is  active in TV licensing to more than 150 clients in 40 countries around  the world, in DVD as well as in digital distribution on several  platforms. The current TV broadcast catalogue contains about 1800 titles  or more than 2500 hours of music material that includes all noteworthy  artists in classical and contemporary music of the past five decades.  The EuroArts label distributes its catalogue with more than 700 titles  on Blu-ray Disc and DVD worldwide through distribution partners Warner  Classics (worldwide exclusive Japan and South Korea), King Records,  Japan and Aulos, Korea.
Our Berlin-based production team have – over a period of more than 30  years – built a reputation for meeting the highest artistic standards,  as well as for a never ending innovative spirit. Multi-camera music  events have been produced in countries all over the world, amongst them  China, Japan, Russia, USA, Israel, Palestine, Turkey and Argentina.  EuroArts Music was the first company to produce a live concert, which  was broadcast in 50 cinemas all over Europe.
Since 1990, EuroArts Music has a close cooperation with the Berliner  Philharmoniker on prestigious regular concert events, such as the annual  Europakonzert, the famous open air concerts at the Waldbühne, Berlin  and the annual New Year’s Eve concerts.
It has relations to prestigious festivals like the Verbier Festival,  and to several opera houses like San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera,  Berliner Staatsoper, Teatro Real or Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.
Owing to long lasting relationships with artists and conductors like  Sir Simon Rattle, Valery Gergiev, the late Claudio Abbado, Daniel  Barenboim, Valery Gergiev, with renowned directors Bruno Monsaingeon and  Peter Rosen and world-class performers such as Martha Argerich,  Anne-Sophie Mutter, Grigory Sokolov and András Schiff or, from the  younger generation, Lang Lang, Daniil Trifonov, Yuja Wang, Sol Gabetta,  Gustavo Dudamel, Leonidas Kavakos and the ever young Menahem Pressler -  the company has become one of the few big names in the classical music  industry.
Innovation and quality characterize the company’s business. The  achievements include numerous awards such as a Peabody Award and Grammy®  Award Nomination (for “Blue Note – A Story of Modern Jazz”), Emmy  Awards (for “Robbie Robertson" and “Knowledge is the Beginning”), the  Grammy® Award (for “Kurt Weill’s Rise and Fall of the City of  Mahagonny”), the National Education Award (USA), three German ECHOs, a  Dance Screen Award (for “C(h)oeurs”) and the Grand Prix at the Golden  Prague Festival 2015 for “Menahem Pressler - The life I love”.
EuroArts Music always strives to spearhead innovation: for instance  with impressive 3D productions and new sound productions, such as the  first HD Audio on Blu-ray Disc or the first-ever 4k opera release on  Ultra HD Blu-ray.
