Continuing the season of live broadcast ballets at Theatr Mwldan this spring we are delighted to bring you the latest production from The Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. La Fille Mal Gardee screens live in HD via satellite to Mwldans screen at 7.30pm on 16th May.
Ever since it’s triumphant premiere in January 1960, Frederick Ashton’s La fille mal gardée has been esteemed as one of his happiest creations. This is a charming piece, elegantly performed, a village love affair set in the idyllic Constable landscape of Ashton’s imagination. Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta would be show-stoppers in almost any suitable role, but as Lise and Colas they are superb. William Tuckett and Jonathan Howells, in the comic roles of Simone and Alain respectively, are every bit as arresting, both displaying a certain genius for knockabout. The luminously colourful Osbert Lancaster designs, together with the vitality of The Royal Ballet’s dancing and vibrant playing from the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House under the baton of Anthony Twiner, serve to augment the harmless good fun at which Ashton excels.
Tickets for this charming ballet are £18 (£16) and are available to book from Mwldan’s Box Office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk, or via Smart Phone by visiting mwldan.ticketsolve.com/mobile
