Captured Live at the Royal Opera House in London, England
Choreographed by Frederick Ashton
La Fille Mal Gardée is one of Frederick Ashton’s most charming ballets. Its combination of lighthearted story, beautiful solos, lively ensembles, and pas de deux have made it a timeless classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Haystacks and chickens, ponies and storms, and a charming tale of young love in a picturesque rural scene—everything sparkles with a winning combination of uplifting and expressive dance, vibrant color, and lyrical music. Funny and touching, this is the perfect ballet for first-timers of all ages. Running time: 1hr and 58 minutes.
