Mixed Programme - Les Painteurs/Tales of Beatrix Potter
Royal Opera House, London
Sun, 23rd December 2007 - Tue, 8th January 2008
From £20.00*Two ballets by Frederick Ashton make for a sparkling double treat from The Royal Ballet for any family to start the New Year. Ashton got his idea for Les Patineurs from the graceful movements and virtuoso skills of skaters and set them to music by Meyerbeer, itself originally written to accompany skating scenes on stage. Ashton’s choreography suggests the effortless actions of skaters as they sway, glide, turn – and even fall over! Tales of Beatrix Potter was created in 1971 for a film, bringing alive with astonishing accuracy the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter: to a score specially created from popular Victorian and Edwardian melodies, such colourful figures as Jemima Puddleduck, Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggywinkle and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit come to vibrant life on stage.
