Peter and the Wolf

The Birmingham royal ballet company recently performed a children's version of Peter and the wolf at the Wolverhampton grand theatre, alongside another performance of a depiction of the seasons.

What a delight it was! All the usual skill and grace but condensed into an hour's performance. The titular ballet was perhaps better suited to younger children, as there was a voice over describing the plot, and explaining that the different characters were to be represented by particular musical instruments.

Although, perhaps it is asking too much of younger children to clap as long as the performance deserved?
