Created by Frederick Ashton for a film in 1971, Tales of Beatrix Potter brings alive, with rich characterisation and invention, the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter. John Lanchberys music (incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies) is utterly captivating, inspiring spirited playing from the Royal Ballet Sinfonia conducted by Paul Murphy. Christine Edzard’s designs conjure up a lost England of field mice and Berkshire black pigs, of foxgloves and shady groves. Swept up in the ballets childlike exuberance, the entire cast delivers 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.

My penultimate excerpt from the Tales of Beatrix Potter ballet. Ashtons choreographic skills can make even pigs look romantic. I know composer John Lanchberry used Victorian music hall songs as the source of his music for this ballet and if anyone could tell me the name of this piece of music I would love to know.
