Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2 Immerse yourself in the lush colors and evocative storytelling of Ravel’s orchestral masterpiece. From the famous sunrise to the triumph of love and rescue, this suite is considered one of the crowning achievements of French music. Written by Longus in the 2nd or 3rd century, CE, and considered the first pastoral prose romance, Daphnis et Chloé tells the story of two foundlings who are brought up by shepherds and who fall in love at an early age. They are soon kidnapped and separated, but after several adventures they are reunited.\ Tickets are on sale now! Reserve your seat for this unforgettable performance today.
