Dance of the Hours
Dance of the Hours (Philips 468 148-2)

AU $8.95


  
Label: Philips Cat. No.: 468 148-2 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

Ballet and the opera have a close and not entirely unproblematic association. From the beginning of opera, it has been associated with dance. So popular did ballet become in the 19th century that opera companies insisted on a ballet sequence or two being inserted into operas. This collection brings together some of the most popular moments in opera that function balletically, as scene changes or, in the case of the Rossini, as an overture.
