	Igor Stravinsky - Petrouchka
		Petrouchka is a doll, a puppet-like man. He is the superfluous one, and the helpless victim of a brutality he cannot combat.
		Petrouchka is a sort of Polichinello, a poor hero always suffering from the cruelty of the police and every kind of wrong and unjust persecution.
		Petrouchka loves the Dancer, but she is aiisensible to his advances, and, on the other hand, is much taken by the swaggering, coarse, sensual Moor.

	The National Ballet of Canada \| Performances \| 05/06 Season \| Petrouchka...
		An early and stylistically striking landmark in the history of 20th-century ballet, Petrouchka was conceived by Igor Stravinsky in 1910, in between the composer's similarly seminal ballets The Firebird and The Rite of Spring.
		It relates the story of a clown who falls in love with a ballerina and who is eventually killed by the ballerina's jealous lover.
		Petrouchka is made possible by generous funding from Nancy Pencer and Micheal Benjamin and Imperial Tobacco Canada.

		Petrouchka: Scene I - The Shrovetide Fair - Vivace - Boston Symphony Orchestra
		Although one may prefer a more spontaneous sounding Rite, one would be hard pressed to find a recording with more energy, polish, and power.
		Ozawa's Petrouchka (with Michael Tilson Thomas at the piano) is equally amazing.
