London Children’s Ballet - The Canterville Ghost - 19-22 April

[Tiredtoes]

Don’t miss The London Children’s Ballet’s upcoming performances of The Canterville Ghost at the Peacock Theatre 19-22 April. I caught a bit of a rehearsal last week and it is going to be a fabulous show - both moving and humorous- and the dancing is excellent! Who knows, you might spot the next Anna Rose O’Sullivan in the cast!

 

Tickets still available from £14 https://www.sadlerswells.com/whats-on/2018/london-childrens-ballet-the-canterville-ghost/

Lovely to revisit this 2005 ballet, choreographed by the wonderful and much missed David Fielding; Artem Vasiliev's original score is still as fresh as it was then. It really was an enjoyable performance. 

Victoria Collinson has kept faith with the original production but introduced various subtle changes that smoothed out and developed some aspects of the 2005 production. 

The company was well drilled and had clearly benefited from coaching by both the LCB team and various former and current members of the RB.

The effort put into staging the production was very much appreciated by the audience and the large number of young performers and young onlookers can only be positive for future generations of ballet lovers.

Whilst it would be invidious to single out the various performers, the two little girls playing the naughty twins were prominent in carrying much of the humour of the staging.
