The performance runs for ca. 47 min. and is followed by an additional 11 min. depicting the dancers, orchestra, stage staff and house personnel assembling onstage to honor the Queen Mother ; the singing of "Happy birthday" ; the Queen Mother's visit backstage, where she is greeted by Sir Frederick Ashton and others.

This tape does not include the performance of Ashton's Rhapsody, danced by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Lesley Collier, which is mentioned in the commentary as part of the gala program.
