This fantastic film was originally created by choreographer Frederick Ashton for a Beatrix Potter film in 1971, this brilliant Royal Ballet version of The Tales of Beatrix Potter was recorded live at the Royal Opera House in December 2007, bringing alive the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter with rich characterization and invention.
With outstanding portrayals of such colourful figures as Jemima Puddle-Duck, Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit, Ashton's warm and witty, yet demanding, choreography creates a piece of charm and grace for all ages.
John Lanchbery's music - incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies - is played by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia and is conducted by Paul Murphy: costume designs are by Christine Edzard.
A feast for the eyes… and it’s free!!
