About This Movie
So, 'Daphnis and Chloe: The Royal Ballet' is really something if you're into dance adaptations of classic music. The choreography by Frederick Ashton is quite fluid, bridging Ravel's lush score with the graceful storytelling of ballet. It's interesting to note that this production harks back to a 1951 staging, which gives it a certain historical weight. Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes breathe life into the titular roles, and their chemistry feels quite genuine. The decor by John Craxton adds a whimsical and vibrant touch, enhancing the overall dreamlike atmosphere. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow, mirroring the themes of love and nature beautifully, which keeps the viewer engaged throughout. It's a lovely watch for anyone who appreciates the artistry of ballet set to classical music.
