Dance and music are deeply intertwined, but this symphonic programme takes a bold departure from classics like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. Nowhere is this more evident than in Ravel’s La valse. Spinning through the shadowy corners of Viennese waltzes, the piece unfolds into a dark commentary on the chaos of post-World War I Europe and the remnants of a 19th century imperial society once obsessed with the waltz dance. Don’t be deceived by its elegant opening though; this journey was always destined to end in a tumultuous crash.
