Darcey Bussell (Sylvia); Roberto Bolle (Aminta); Thiago Soares (Orion); Marianela Nuñez (Lise); Carlos Acosta (Colas); Will Tuckett (Simone); Jonathan Howells (Alain); Ricardo Cervera (Mrs. Tittlemouse); Jonathan Howells (Johnny Tiggy-Winkle); Joshua Tuifua (Peter Rabbit)

Darcey Bussell and Roberto Bolle star in Frederick Ashton’s Sylvia, restored to the splendour of its elegant, opulent three-act form and featuring the choreographer’s darkly comic characterisations.

By contrast La fille mal gardée, starring Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta, has been treasured as one of Ashton’s happiest creations – his artistic tribute to nature and his beloved Suffolk countryside.

The Tales of Beatrix Potter bring the famous stories of the English writer and illustrator to life in a warm and witty work for all ages. 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.
