The music

The performers

Edward Gardner conductor
BBC Singers
Circa

Ravel’s orchestral masterpiece is a ballet that resists staging. Enter Circa’s powerful acrobatics and aerials.

Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé is known for its bold rhythmic variety and stunning orchestration. Add in gravity-defying circus and you have a world as strange and intriguing as the music itself.

Expect dramatic group acrobatics, intimate duos and aerial solos alongside the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing – as Stravinsky put it – ‘one of the most beautiful products of all French music’.

Circa is one of the world’s leading performance companies. They continue to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus. Circa acknowledges the assistance of the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
