Royal Ballet Dancing Les Partineurs

Marblehead School of Ballet presents the last show in The Big Screen series, Royal Ballet’s “Les Patineurs” (The Skaters) and other works created by choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton, at the studio located at 115 Pleasant Street in Marblehead, Massachusetts. In 1937, Ashton choreographed this work for Royal Ballet’s predecessor, the Vic-Wells Ballet, in England. Set on a frozen pond, couples and groups of friends skate throughout the afternoon. Watch the dancers perform Constant Lambert’s setting of Giacomo Meyerbeer’s brilliant music. This work is the perfect piece to get into the holiday spirit.

Dancers, dance aficionados, friends, and families are welcome to attend the program. Join MSB’s director, Paul K. Shiff, in a discussion about Ashton’s ballets. Admission is $10 per person.
