| Description |
The bucolic tale of the two lovers, Daphnis and Chloe, dates back to the 3rd century B.C. in Ancient Greece and the story has many forms and interpretations. In this version, both the exuberance of the original tale and the more elaborate and pastoral versions of more recent times come into play. Jiri Kylian's Symphony in D was created for the Netherlands Dance Theatre in 1976. It has proved a popular work through the world as one of the rare types of comedy ballet that is refreshingly humorous. Created by Ben Stevenson for the Harkness Ballet in 1969, Three Preludes won the First Prize for Choreography at the International Ballet Competition, Varna, Bulgaria in 1972. |
