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