THE riot at Paris's Théâtre des Champs-Élysées during the premiere of Stravinsky’s Rite Of Spring in 1913 has been well-documented.

But music was causing riots in the French capital as far back as 1647, when there was a nationalist uprising during the premiere of Luigi Rossi’s opera Orfeo.

It was this controversial performance which helped create a French opera – which fought to avoid being tainted by the Italian form which was taking over the world.
