Tonight for the first time I watched from a DVD The Royal Ballet's performance of the Tales from Beatrix Potter. The music was written in 1971 by John Lanchberry, this performance choreographed by Frederick Ashton and the whole production directed by Reginald Mills. Tonight I'm just giving you the delightful Mrs Tittle Mouse and friends scene. I love it not only for the dancing and costumes but also the wonderful setting.
I have to admit that for many reasons I cried throughout most of the performance. The only reason that I will tell is that I wish that I had had a copy of the DVD and a player 30+ years ago!
Besides the dancing each scene has a different setting. All are magnificent, my favourites being the outdoor ones where panoramic views allow your thoughts to spread unfettered to the horizon and beyond. Please enjoy:
