LA FILLE MAL GARDEE at Covent Garden

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.
Lise is the only daughter of Widow Simone, the owner of a prosperous farm. She is in love with the young farmer Colas, but her mother has higher ambitions for her, hoping to marry her off to Alain, the son of the wealthy proprietor Thomas. Desperate to marry Colas rather than Alain, Lise contrives to outwit her mother’s plans.
The choreography of La Fille mal gardée is incredibly virtuosic, with multiple pirouettes, grand lifts and fleet footwork.

COST : Theatre ticket £68.00 + coach fare £20.00 approx. making a total of £88.00 per person.
