Dance of the Hours
''Dance of the Hours'' (Italian: ') is a short ballet and is the act 3 finale of the opera ''La Gioconda'' composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. It depicts the hours of the day through solo and ensemble dances. The opera was first performed in 1876 and was revised in 1880. Later performed on its own, the ''Dance of the Hours'' was at one time one of the best known and most frequently performed ballets.〔(Dance of the Hours ) Flutetunes.com, 2010-08-04.

==Description==
The ballet, accompanied by an orchestra, appears at the end of the third act of the opera, in which the character ''Alvise'', who heads the Inquisition, receives his guests in a large and elegant ballroom adjoining the death chamber. The music and choreography represent the hours of dawn, day, twilight, night and morning. Costume changes and lighting effects reinforce the progression. The dance is intended to symbolize the eternal struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Altogether it is about 10 minutes long.
