Bringing Ashton from Florida to The Royal Opera House sounds like “coals to Newcastle” but I think that “discovering buried treasure” might be a more appropriate idiom.

An excellent and diverse triple bill with an Ashton gem at its centre.

Sir Frederick Ashton was a choreographic genius but not everything he created rose to that level, as this program showed.
