Frederick Ashton's final full-length ballet La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of his most joyous creations, inspired by his love for the Suffolk countryside. It is based on an 1828 French ballet and the music was adapted by John Lanchbery from Ferdinand Hérold's original score. La Fille mal gardée was a resounding success on its premiere in 1960 and has remained a firm favourite in The Royal Ballet's repertory.
La Fille displays some of Ashton's most virtuoso choreography - the youthful passion of Lise and her lover, Colas, is expressed in a series of energetic pas de deux. The ballet is laced with good humour and a whirl of dancing chickens, grouchy guardians and a halfwit suitor take to the stage. Ashton affectionately incorporated elements of national folk dance into his choreography, from a Lancashire clog dance to a maypole dance, making La Fille mal gardée (despite its title) The Royal Ballet's most emphatically English work. Osbert Lancaster's colourful designs reinforce the bucolic wit of the production. - Розваги

I love how Christopher Carr yells "And Wiggle" so seriously 😂😂
And that little dance he does lol
"There is nothing in it that's boring, it's just brilliant" Perfectly sums this ballet. Even the great classical ballets have their occasional boring moments (for me anyway) but not this one, just pure fun and enjoyment from beginning to end. Ashton and Lanchbery created a work of artistic genius.
First time I saw Natalia laughing so hard!! Lovely!
I saw this at the Paris Opera Ballet in 2018 and loved every minute of it. The clog dance in particular was hilarious!
Steven is so light on his feet in the jumps, it's amazing, and Natalia's dancing flows so beautifully. I love seeing it up close, you can appreciate it so much more
Aww, the swan toy she was given after performing Swan Lake was in her dressing room! How cute
What a spectacular company. Like some beautiful diamond
BEAUTIFUL.... 4:51
Natalia's laugh! love it!! lol
Questo balletto è fantastico (come Natalia Osipova) , è allegro, è meraviglioso. Secondo me è il balletto perfetto da vedere con la\il propria\o fidanzata\o

I was a chicken in a cinderella ballet when i was little lol
BTW lovely ballet. Love natalias expression and everyone's effort.
I always see Steven McRae in those stripy pants. He must really like them.
A delight and so uplifting.
Meaghan is the cutest thing ever!
i love steven!
Наша Наташа... Соскучились очень. Ждём в Москве. И, может, в Новосибирске...? Рыженький Стивен очень хорош. А балет замечательный. Посмотрим теперь и с Наташей.
When I produce the ballet for my ballet school I think I will add an extra cockerel and choreograph a chicken fight.
Natalia!
💜💜💜
por favor vuelvan a pasarlo para recudar fondos!!!! PLEASE!!!
Someone get Natalia some new shoes
I knew it was Natalia the moment I saw those shoes, they’re always like that in every clip I’ve seen of her
@@Wurmze I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw those battered shoes and my first thought was, it's gotta be Osipova.
😃😃
are her shoes very worn?
thnwgrl her shoes are that way in many many videos . i think that's just the way she likes it. she said in an interview that she adapt her shoes aggressively because her feet is very wide
STOP STOP .. who’s dropped one
I'd be terrified if I was the one lol
