La Fille mal gardée is a comic ballet and one of the oldest and most important works in the modern ballet repertoire, having been kept alive throughout its long performance history by way of many revivals. This version is one of the most vibrant and joyous works of the English choreographer Frederick Ashton, which premiered at the Royal Ballet of London in 1960. The notable French choreographer Jean Dauberval’s 1789 work served as a source of inspiration for Ashton’s ballet, with Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold’s score, arranged by John Lanchbery. This gleeful story of pastoral love continues to delight admirers of the refined art of ballet all around the world.
