Maurice Ravel's choreographic symphony Daphnis et Chloé has been described by Ravel as his most important score. It is considered by scholars as the composer's summum bonum of orchestral art and will bring together the Ballets de Monte-Carlo under the direction of choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot who on this occasion will meet up once again with Ernest Pignon-Ernest and Jérôme Kaplan. Together with his two accomplices, the choreographer will start off by the initial point of this tender love story between these children which nothing will ever separate, beautiful and pure characters of the pastoral novel written by Longus in the 3rd century.
