The ballet completes its run of six performances amid controversy, but no further disruption.
"Although Nijinsky and Stravinsky were despondent, Diaghilev (a Russian art critic as well as the ballet's impresario) commented that the scandal was "just what I wanted". The music and choreography were considered barbaric and sexual and are also often noted as being the primary factors for the cause of the riot, but many political and social tensions surrounding the premiere contributed to the backlash as well...
The ballet completed its run of seven performances amid controversy, but experienced no further disruption. The same performers gave a production of the work in London later the same year. Both Stravinsky and Nijinsky continued to work, but neither created pieces in this percussive and intense style again. The United States premiere was in 1924 in a concert (that is, non-staged) version."

Certainly the well-known accounts of the riots that greeted the premiere in Paris in 1913 show that the audiences that had grown accustomed to the often colourful and exotic ways of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes found this a step too far. However, the London premiere that followed was given a more controlled reception, and that for the time being was that as far as productions of the work as a theatre piece were concerned.

Кроме того, имеются многочисленные свидетельства участников и мемуары самого Стравинского. Постановка стала хрестоматийным примером так называемого "succès de scandale".
