In southwest France, on the shores of the Atlantic, Biarritz boasts luxurious villas, long beaches, and cliffs sculpted by the waves. In 1921, it was here that Igor Stravinsky found refuge. The Russian composer who revolutionized music with “The Rites of Spring” had fled the Bolshevik revolution of 1917.
On this unique piece of coastline, where the climate fluctuates between balmy and tempestuous, he wrote the dazzling “Petrushka”, a work brimming with excess and paradox.
