PROGRAMME
La Fille mal gardée
ABOUT THE EVENT
La Fille mal gardée is the oldest action ballet in the French repertoire and at the same time the first modern one.
First performed at Bordeaux’s Grand Theatre just days before the French Revolution, its success was immediate and the work quickly travelled across Europe and the United States. This breezy cheerful work unfurls in the country and tells of Lise’s thwarted love for Colas. For the first time, the storyline does not involve gods or ancient heroes. Instead it recounts a tale by miming the action. La Fille mal gardée returned to the Palais Garnier in 2007 in Frederick Ashton's version, created for London’s Royal Ballet in 1960.
To Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold's music, re-orchestrated by John Lanchbery, the choreographer composed a ballet of the utmost virtuosity, replete with humour, tenderness and gaiety, giving new life to Dauberval’s pastoral.
