The cutting-edge ballet company returns to Artis—Naples this season to present an experimental piece by Ravel: the iconic Boléro. With its single, insistent theme repeated over and over, gradually evolving through mesmerizing instrumental combinations, Boléro builds from a whispering pianissimo to a thunderous fortissimo climax.
