Mezzo soprano Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber's personal journey has included some dramatic highs and lows worthy of an opera, the art form to which she has dedicated her life.
When Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring premiered in Paris in 1913, the audience reacted by cheering, jeering, and arguing with one another, causing such an uproar that they drowned out the orchestra. A Russian born composer who lived in France, Switzerland, and finally America, Stravinsky changed the ears of the world with his pounding, shifting rhythms and prominent dissonances often overlaid on Russian folk themes.
