Ballet in Cinema: The Royal Ballet's "La Fille Mal Gardee" Encore Showtimes and Tickets

Ever since its triumphant premiere in 1960, Frederick Ashton’s La Fille mal gardée has been treasured as one of his happiest creations. Here Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta perfectly portray the young lovers, Lise and Colas, while William Tuckett, as the irascible but lovable Widow Simone, wonderfully leads the famous Clog Dance. Osbert Lancaster’s colourful, picture-book designs and Ferdinand Hérold’s tuneful score, provide the perfect setting.
