LA FILLE MAL GARDEE at Covent Garden
Friday 5th June 2026 at 7.30
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. Highlights include the pas de ruban (ribbon dance), where Lise and Colas dance together, their bodies intertwined by a ribbon. Other highlights include the maypole dance and Widow Simon’s clog dance.
The seats are in the Amphitheatre with good views of the stage.
COST : Theatre ticket £68.00 + coach fare £20.00 approx. making a total of £88.00 per person.
