Tales of Beatrix Potter (Ballet)
Londons Royal Ballet at Covent Garden
In 1971, Frederick Ashton choreographed Tales of Beatrix Potter for film. Two decades later, Anthony Dowell staged Ashtons choreography for the Royal Ballet, giving the storied company one of its more charming offerings. Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher and Jemima Puddleduck come to life again at Covent Garden in this most recent and acclaimed production. John Lanchberys music (incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies) is utterly captivating, inspiring spirited playing from the Royal Ballet Sinfonia conducted by Paul Murphy.
Enchanting. If you want to connect with your inner child or, even better, if you have a youngster in tow then this is the show for you. How can you resist? - Debra Craine, The Times
