RO QUIZ
Who directed Petrushka at the Residentie Orkest in 1928?-
Chief conductor Peter van Anrooy
Right answer: Igor Stravinsky himself
In the mid-1920s, Igor Stravinsky was a famous composer, especially in Europe. The earnings from his work were not bad, but there were a lot of mouths to fill. Stravinsky was married, had several children and was also entrusted with the care of his mother. Therefore, to make his income stream a little more regular, he performed frequently as a conductor and pianist including in the Netherlands. In September 1928, Igor Stravinsky made an appearance at Residentie Orkest for a sold-out concert entirely devoted to his music. Such as the Petrushka directed by himself. "Afterwards, the audience could not be calmed down," NRC noted.
Stravinsky enjoyed his stay at the Kurhaus; he strolled along the beach and dined sumptuously in the Kurhaus restaurant every day. He gladly left the paying to others because "the world will pay me back what they didn't pay to Bartók and Mozart." -
