This concert showcases music from three generations of composers, all of whom are famous for their ballet music. Adam, represented
here by his music for the romantic and tragic Giselle, was a teacher of Delibes - composer of Coppelia, the comic story of
a dancing doll so life-like that a man falls in love with it. Tchaikovsky was a great admirer of Delibes, and his music for
Swan Lake, together with the Rococo variations, surely contains many of his best loved melodies, and displays his natural
gift for musical drama.
Royal Festival Hall at 5.45pm: A chance to hear the results of the OAE's
`Street Genius' project. Admission free.
