**See clip 1/6 for extensive notes on the production.

**Libretto for this clip -
The appearance of chilling dew brings Flora to despair, and she implores Aurora, the goddess of the dawn, to help them. Aurora consoles Flora with tender caresses and announces that Apollo, the god of day, who will end their sufferings, is following behind her. Aurora, Flora, and her nymphs perform a waltz.


**Résumé of pieces performed in this clip -
1. Scherzo - Scène et danse de la rosée
2. L'apparition d'Aurore
3. Valse

**The 'Valse' ends with a lovely révérence, likely to the Tsar & his family (who were fanatic balletomanes, & in attendance at the 1st performance in 1894).


--ENJOY!!
