Rossini Club opens its 2026 summer season with l’Histoire du Soldat, Igor Stravinsky’s multidisciplinary vaudeville of a soldier who trades his violin to the devil in exchange for infinite fortune, only to confront the true cost of that bargain. Lead by conductor Francisco Noya of the Boston Civic Symphony, the work is a virtuosic tour-de-force for the musicians, full of ragtime and Russian folk music. Urgent, theatrical, and as fresh as when it premiered in 1918, this performance sets the stage for a season that explores how we navigate a world in flux.
