Answer:

Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring

Step-by-step explanation:

The ballet was first performed by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes at the Theatre du Champs-Elysees in Paris on 29 May 1913. The audience were so outraged by Stravinsky’s score, and Nijinsky’s choreography, that many people thought it seemed like the work of a madman.
