The Royal Ballet presents two Ashton one-act ballets: Les Patineurs and Tales Of Beatrix Potter.

Les Patineurs: Inspired by the grace of skaters, the dancers sway and glide across the stage to the music of Meyerbeer. Since its first performance in 1937, Les Patineurs has provided a showcase for star dancers.

Tales Of Beatrix Potter: Originally created for a 1971 film, Tales Of Beatrix Potter sees dressed and masked to look like the characters that have brought joy to generations of children.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision. Please email ticketing@officiallondontheatre.com to find out more about your chosen show.
