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 bring together the Ballets de Monte-Carlo under the direction of choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot who on this occasion meets up once again with Ernest Pignon-Ernest and Jérôme Kaplan. This tender love story features two children, beautiful and pure characters, which nothing will ever separate. The pastoral novel was written by Longus in the 3rd century.
