Read -- 💡 Background to the production: Frederick Ashton's La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of the choreographer's most joyous and colourful creations. Inspired by his love for the Suffolk countryside, the ballet is set on a farm and tells a story of love between Lise, the daughter of Widow Simone, and Colas, a young farmer. It contains some of Ashton's most stunning choreography, most strikingly in the series of energetic pas de deux that express the youthful passion of the young lovers, performed here by Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta. The ballet is laced with exuberant good humour, and elements of national folk dance, from dancing chickens and a maypole dance to a Lancashire clog dance for Widow Simone, performed with wit and charm by William Tuckett. Osbert Lancaster’s colourful designs heighten the production’s delightful pastoral wit. La Fille mal gardée is based on a 1789 French ballet originally created by Jean Dauberval; John Lanchbery created the music for Ashton’s ballet from Ferdinand Hérold’s 1828 score. The ballet's premiere in 1960 was a resounding success and it remains a firm favourite of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. -- 📖 Synopsis (contains spoilers): Lise is the only daughter of Widow Simone. Lise loves Colas, a young farmer – but her mother has far more ambitious plans, and is determined that Lise marry Alain, the son of a wealthy landowner. Alain seems as uninterested in marrying Lise as Lise is in marrying Alain. Simone persists in making the match until eventually her good nature gets the better of her, and she gives Lise and Colas her blessing. -- 🙏 With warm thanks to Arts Council England, Season Principal Mrs Aline Foriel-Destezet, Aud Jebsen, The Kirsh Foundation, Julia and Hans Rausing and all the supporters of The Royal Ballet. -- 📀 This recording is also available on Opus Arte DVD and Blu-Ray: https://naxos.lnk.to/OA0992D-OABD7021DUK!ROHstreamYT Also available from Opus Arte: 📀 The Frederick Ashton Collection Vol. 1 This special collection from The Royal Ballet includes nine of Frederick Ashton’s most loved short ballets, which showcase the range of his style including Symphonic Variations, Voices of Spring, The Two Pigeons, The Dream, Rhapsody, La Valse, Monotones and Méditation from Thaïs. https://naxos.lnk.to/OA1280BD-OABD7209BD!ROHstreamYT 📀 The Frederick Ashton Collection Vol. 2 Darcey Bussell and Roberto Bolle star in Frederick Ashton’s Sylvia, restored to the splendour of its elegant, opulent three-act form.
