Note: This Blu-ray Disc is only playable on Blu-ray Disc players and not compatible with standard DVD players. Also available on standard DVD Peter and the Wolf, Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale, has been delighting children since 1936. Nearly 60 years later, in 1995, the young choreographer Matthew Hart created a witty choreographed version for the Royal Ballet School with designs by Ian Spurling. Described as ‘an utterly delightful ballet and a perfect showcase for the younger students,’ by the Royal Ballet’s Director, Monica Mason, it was staged again and recorded for this DVD. "...Matthew Hart’s Peter and the Wolf is one of the most beguiling children’s ballets around.” - The Telegraph Matthew Hart, choreographer The Wolf – Sergei Polunin Grandfather – Will Kemp Peter – Kilian Smith Duck – Charlotte Edmonds Bird – Laurine Muccioli Cat – Chisato Katsura The Royal Ballet School Royal Ballet Sinfonia Paul Murphy, conductor Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, 16
