A treat for adults and children alike - and following this ballet's successful premiere in Spain, "Snow White" is now available to all. Covent Garden's celebrated prima ballerina Tamara Rojo took time off from the Royal Ballet to return home and star in this delightful version of the beloved fairy tale. With a new score by Spain's popular conductor-composer Emilio Aragón, "Snow White" was acclaimed at its 2005 premiere: "Rojo recalls those earlier ballerina-heroines capable of making classical into a sublime religion" (El País, Madrid).

Ravel's work was choreographed by Frederick Ashton for a staging by Sadler's Wells Ballet (now The Royal Ballet) at Covent Garden on 5 April 1951, with Margot Fonteyn as Chloe and Michael Somes as Daphnis; decor was by John Craxton.
