The Tale of Two Bad Mice | The Royal Ballet - Tale of Beatrix Potter | Marquee TV
A clip from Frederick Ashton’s Tales of Beatrix Potter featuring the story The Tale of Two Bad Mice. Performed by the Royal Ballet.
The Tales of Beatrix Potter brings alive, with rich characterization and invention, the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter. John Lanchbery’s 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 ballet’s childlike exuberance, the entire cast delivers outstanding portrayals of such colourful figures as Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mr Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit. Frederick Ashton’s warm and witty, yet demanding, choreography creates a piece of charm and grace for all ages.
