Petrushka is one of three innovative ballets composed by Igor Stravinsky during his ‘Russian’ period. With Petrushka, Stravinsky showed his neo-folkloric side and brought a colourful street crowd with a magician and his puppets, merchants and mummies to the ballet stage. In doing so, he showed the world that funfair and classical music are not contradictory, and his audience now heard folk music from a new perspective.
