Details

Les Patineurs brings Frederick Ashton's characteristic sense of fun to the elegance and virtuosity of The Royal Ballet. Astonishingly popular from its very first appearance, it interprets the effortless actions of skaters as they sway, glide, turn ? and even fall over! The delightful Tales of Beatrix Potter danced by The Royal Ballet. Brilliant characterizations with detailed designs and costumes bring to life such lovable figures as Jemima Puddle-Duck, the dapper frog Jeremy Fisher, and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit. It is a perfect end to a wonderful festive programme for the whole family. Running time 2hrs 15mins with one interval.
