29 Feb-3 Mar, "Spring Passions": Ashton's Daphnis and Chloë / The Two Pigeons, Birmingham Hippodrome. Two beautiful Ashton ballets aboutlove: Chloë, a shepherdess kidnapped by a pirate, has to be rescued withthe help of the god Pan and of one of the most ecstatic of all ballet scor es, by Maurice Ravel. The pigeons' amorous billings and cooings are not en tirely replicated by two lovers in a Paris garrett torn apart by unfaithful ness, a deliciously French romance set to André Messager music.
