"Peter Rabbit’s beautiful and magical garden of dreams will transport every adult straight back to their childhood." (The Stage - The Tales of Beatrix Potter)

"One of the very best seasonal treats for children and adults alike, the Royal Ballet’s Nutcracker is a handsome, magical, thoroughly traditional rendering of ETA Hoffmann’s immortal if deeply strange story." (Sunday Express - The Nutcracker)

"What a treat this is - such an imaginative treatment of a favourite story. There are extraordinary, eccentric sets and special effects; colourful, larger-than-life, argumentative characters and extraordinary costumes. Lauren Cuthbertson, as Alice, is excellent, her every movement suggesting the actions and emotions of this curious, spirited pre-adolescent... Christopher Wheeldon’s choreography is very imaginative and fitting for every character." (Musicweb International - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

"... Matthew Hart’s Peter and the Wolf is one of the most beguiling children’s ballets around." (The Daily Telegraph - Peter and the Wolf)
