SUMMARY:RBO: La Fille Mal Gardee
DESCRIPTION:Escape to the countryside with Frederick Ashton’s ballet about a capricious girl who hopes to marry her love. Brimming with humour and choreographic invention\, La Fille mal gardée is the perfect ballet for all the family. \n\n\n\n\nA love letter to the English countryside\nWhen La Fille mal gardée premiered in Covent Garden on 28 January 1960\, it instantly won all hearts. Inspired by Jean Dauberval’s French ballet\, Ashton’s version combines exuberant good humour and an affectionate portrayal of village life. The Royal Ballet’s Founder Choreographer\, Ashton hoped to capture the ‘leafy pastoral of perpetual sunshine…the suspended stillness of a Constable landscape of my beloved Suffolk\, luminous and calm’. Osbert Lancaster’s colourful designs bring the charm of the countryside to life. \n  \nAshton’s choreographic brilliance\nTestament to Ashton’s boundless creative invention\, the ballet is constructed like a brilliantly complex piece of clockwork with technically demanding choreography that stretches the world’s best dancers. Ashton made full use of the technical talents of his original cast – Nadia Nerina and David Blair – and this is reflected in the virtuosity of much of the ballet’s choreography: multiple pirouettes\, grand lifts and fleet footwork. Highlights include the pas de ruban (ribbon dance)\, where Lise and Colas dance together\, their bodies intertwined by a ribbon – a symbol of their tender love. In order to evoke the bliss of the rustic countryside\, Ashton also included elements of national folk dance – from maypole dancing to a Lancashire clog dance for Widow Simone.

SUMMARY:RBO: Cinderella
DESCRIPTION:Ashton’s adaptation of Cinderella received its premiere on 23rd December 1948 with Royal\nBallet dancers Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles. The production was\nreceived rapturously with Ashton’s reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches\nstory proving a compelling showcase for the choreographer’s musicality and the beauty of\nSergey Prokofiev’s transcendent score. \nCinderella made a welcome return to the stage in 2023 after an absence of over 10 years in\na new production with an award-winning creative team steeped in the magic of theatre\, film\,\ndance and opera\, bringing new atmosphere to Cinderella’s ethereal world of fairy\ngodmothers and pumpkin carriages. Set design is by Tom Pye (My Neighbour Totoro\,\nOlivier Award for Best Set Design)\, costume designs by Alexandra Byrne (Elizabeth: The\nGolden Age\, Academy Award for Best Costume Design)\, lighting design by David Finn\n(Brokeback Mountain)\, video design by Finn Ross (Les Misérables\, Frozen) and illusions by\nChris Fisher (Harry Potter and The Cursed Child). \nCinderella is a co-production between The Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada. \nDoors & Bar open at 6.30 pm \n  \n
