Angelina Ballerina's Star Performance, Wales Millennium Centre

2:53pm Friday 9th May 2008

ANGELINA Ballerina is adored by little girls across the land, including my young daughter, and this polished production by the highly professional and accomplished English National Ballet delighted many young fans.

The show, based on the acclaimed children's books written by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig, was a real treat.

With music by Tchaikovsky, everything is spot on - the costumes are sumptuous, the sets impressive and choreography spectacular with its combination of pirouettes and grand jetés.

The action was also kept to an hour to ensure young minds didn't have too much time to wander.

In the story, Angelina Ballerina has been given the honour of putting on her very own performance of The Sleeping Beauty for the Queen in her splendid palace.

It's Angelina's biggest challenge yet will she manage to pull it off?
