La Fille mal Gardee
Description:
Frederick Ashton's final full length ballet is one of the most joyous creations, inspired by his love for the Suffolk countryside. A resounding success on its premiere in 1960, La Fille mal Gardée has remained a firm favourite in The Royal Ballet's repertory.
The ballet displays some of Ashton's most virtuosic choreography – the youthful passion of Lise and her lover, Colas, is expressed in a series of energetic pas de deux. Laced with good humour, a whirl of dancing chickens and halfwit suitors, Ashton also affectionately incorporates elements of national folk dance into his choreography – making La Fille mal Gardée the Royal Ballet's most emphatically English work.
