LA FILLE MAL GARDEE
ROYAL OPERA HOUSE
JUNE 1, 2, 3 & 6

With its origins in a work first seen in Bordeaux in 1789, La Fille mal gardée has been staged by several choreographers in the 19th century. However, Frederick Ashton brought the work into the 20th century and created an instant classic which has never left The Royal Ballet's repertory. Funny and touching, La Fille mal gardée is the perfect ballet for first-timers of all ages, but it is also one to which ballet-lovers will return again and again with renewed pleasure at every performance.
 
The virtuoso roles of Lise and Colas combine dazzling technique with tiny, intimate details that makes their romance touching and real, while the humour of Widow Simone and the innocent Alain, more interested in his red umbrella than Lise's charms, is delightful.
