蘭契貝利：波特小姐的故事 / 英國皇家芭蕾舞團
「英國皇家芭蕾(The Royal Ballet)」是個聞名國際的芭蕾舞團，隸屬於英國倫敦柯芬園區的皇家歌劇院，是英國最重要、規模也最大的舞蹈公司，也是全球芭蕾界公認的三大芭蕾舞團之一。1931年，出身愛爾蘭的編舞大師萳內特．德．瓦蘿絲女爵，一手創立了皇家芭蕾舞團前身Vic-Wells Ballet；瓦蘿絲女爵曾擔任狄亞吉雷夫的俄羅斯芭蕾舞團的舞者，感歎於英國沒有自己的芭蕾養成教育，以及獨立的舞蹈機構，因而成立；女爵更有英國芭蕾教母的雅號。1946年舞團被納入皇家歌劇院旗下，便冠上皇家(Roral)的頭銜。這份演出是2007年12月23&27日於柯芬園皇家歌劇院的現場錄影。採用皇家芭蕾一代編舞大師阿胥頓於1971年所編，芭蕾作曲大師蘭契貝利的「波特小姐的故事」，劇中充斥大大小小由芭蕾舞者裝扮的可愛動物人偶，是一部適合閤家觀賞的輕鬆舞劇。

The Royal Ballet & Royal Ballet Sinfonia, Paul Murphy
Frederick Ashton, choreographer
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 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, 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.
