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 – in 2010.
