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.
