Daphnis & Chloe Performance :
There will be a unique performing opportunity for Intermediate I and II level participants who take at least three of the four weeks offered at the Summer Intensive, with one of the weeks being the fourth week. The Northwest Ballet performance of Daphnis & Chloe will include all of our dance camp students who wish to perform with us on August 15, 2008.

Daphnis & Chloe
Generally regarded as Ravel's greatest masterpiece, is one of the numerous important scores that owe their existence to the famous ballet impresario Sergey Diaghilev, who commissioned new works for his Paris-based troupe. Almost an hour long, Daphnis et Chole is Ravel's longest work. The music, some of the composer's most passionate, has extraordinarily lush harmonies typical of the impressionist movement. Its diaphanous anad intricate orchestration serves to tell the tale of two lovers in what the composer describes as a "vast musical fresco...faithful to the Greece of my dreams". Fierce pirates and dancing gazelles abound in this dazzling ballet.
