Various Ballet for Children - Beatrix Potter: Peter Rabbit; Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker; Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf; Adventures of Alice in Wonderland / The Royal Ballet

Review One of the very best seasonal treats for children and adults alike, the Royal Ballets Nutcracker is a handsome, magical, thoroughly traditional rendering of ETA Hoffmanns immortal if deeply strange story. --Sunday Express Angelika Kirchschlagers tousled, boyish Hänsel and Diana Damraus Gretel are dramatically convincing and vocally superb, while their parents, excellently sung and played by Elizabeth Connell and Thomas Allen, earn our sympathy as well as our censure....Colin Davis, unafraid to relish the icing on the cake, draws a warm, effulgent sound from the orchestra. --Evening Standard Product Description This unique collection brings together four jewels of the Royal Ballet repertoire that will delight and captivate young viewers the world over. Prepare to be enchanted by the timelessly colourful characters of Beatrix Potter including Peter Rabbit and friends; swept up in the magical world of Clara and her beloved Nutcracker; dazzled by Alice's weird and wonderful adventures in Wonderland; and spellbound by the action in Prokofiev's classic Peter and the Wolf.
