Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé

The Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, Charles Dutoit, is renowned for his exceptional interpretations of twentieth-century music, including his definitive recording of Ravel’s ballet, Daphnis et Chloé. This is an unmissable opportunity to see, and hear, Dutoit guide the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra through the complete ballet. Ravel’s score is an evocative, sensual masterpiece, full of precisely articulated colours and seductive sonorities. Poulenc’s Gloria is one of his finest works, brimming with rich harmonies, sinuous melodies and rhythmic verve. Dutoit and the Orchestra are joined by the Philharmonia Chorus and soprano Nicole Cabell.
