Lise is the only daughter of Widow Simone, the owner of a prosperous farm. She is in love with the young farmer Colas, but her mother has higher ambitions for her, hoping to marry her off to Alain, the son of the wealthy proprietor Thomas. Desperate to marry Colas rather than Alain, Lise contrives to outwit her mother’s plans.
65 years after its premiere, The Royal Ballet presents Frederick Ashton’s La Fille mal gardée. This tender portrait of rural life combines lively humour with brilliantly inventive choreography in a work that is undoubtedly Ashton’s love letter to the English countryside.
La Fille mal gardée envelops us in the bliss of pastoral landscapes, enriched by Ferdinand Hérold’s joyful score and Osbert Lancaster’s colourful designs.
