The Ballet of the Lyon Opera will present two different versions of The Rite of Spring during its season from 3 to 14 November 2026. Mats Ek's 1984 version, originally created for the English National Ballet, will be reimagined for this season. The production will feature the Lyon Opera Orchestra performing Stravinsky's score live under the direction of Christoph Altstaedt. According to one report, this marks the first time since 1982 that the Ballet of the Lyon Opera has performed The Rite of Spring, while another states that the ballet had not performed it since 1982. Mats Ek's choreography will return to his London version, which was presented only four times, and is expected to rediscover the tribal energy, powerful gestures, and sensual passion of Stravinsky's music, marked by strength and poetry. In addition to Mats Ek's version, the Ballet of the Lyon Opera will also present a contemporary interpretation of The Rite of Spring by Sharon Eyal, one of today's most famous choreographers. Eyal is known for her work that confronts the universes of ballet and club dance. This version is described as a love declaration to dance and the confluences of techno, offering a different perspective on the Ballet of the Lyon Opera. The production by Sharon Eyal features choreography by Eyal, with Léo Lérus as assistant choreographer, music by Ori Lichtik, costumes by Maayan Goldman, and lighting by Alon Cohen. The duration of the performance is 1 hour and 50 minutes with an intermission. The production details include set and costumes by Marie-Louise Ekman, with rehearsal masters Antonio Castilla and Ana Laguna.
