- Frederick Ashton’s joyful ballet La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) features some of his most brilliant and romantic choreography. Principals of The Royal Ballet Natalia Osipova (Lise) and Steven McRae (Colas) perform the Adagio pas de deux for Lise and Colas in Act I scene 2.
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 a 1789 French ballet originally created by Jean Dauberval; John Lanchbery created the music for Ashton’s ballet from Ferdinand Hérold’s 1828 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.
The ballet displays some of Ashton’s most virtuoso choreography, most strikingly in the series of energetic pas de deux that express the youthful passion of Lise and Colas. The ballet is also laced with exuberant good humour, in a whirl of dancing chickens, grouchy guardians and one very unwilling suitor. 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 - emphatically English. Osbert Lancaster’s colourful designs heighten the production’s delightful pastoral wit.
Frederick Ashton created more than one hundred works during his lifetime (1904-88). For further information, please visit www.frederickas...

Natalia is wonderful in everything she does - so expressive - so strong - so beautiful.
My toes hurt just WATCHING Natalia be a human maypole. The amount of balance and coordination to stay on your toes while eight people spin you around via ribbon BOGGLES MY MIND.
Did that balance just happen? Holy moly. She’s unreal.
WOWWW how gorgeous!!! The skill and strength Natalia has!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Steven McRae, great dancer🌹👍🏻
Наталья Осипова одна из лучших балерин этого мира. Такой талант, такой артистизм! А в своих интервью она так мила и интелегентна, обожаю ее!!
Она необыкновенно трогательно относится к своим костюмам, они для нее одушевлённые, легчайшие касания рукой - и вот уже пачка танцует- поет свою мелодию.
The Maypole is the prettiest and craziest thing I've seen! It is so precise and all those dancers on pointe at once 😮
Ballet Music. Is simply out of this world magnificent.......all of it.....it just inherently makes the ballerinas and danseurs dance beyond eloquence..... impeccable beauty
When we see Natalia osipova in the title, we know it’s going to be good
I miss you Steven❣️ Heal quickly and I hope he can rehab his way back on stage❣️
What music, what dancing. It really makes life better during a hard time!
Adore this performance, and Ashton's choreography is superb and a joy throughout. Not to mention the technical difficulty...
two of the best the Royal Ballet has!
Oh I really wish to see more clips from Osipova... Just beautiful! By the way, McRae is always a great male partner I have to say. Hope he’s back soon to the ROH stage.
McRae has left the ROH?
hippolyte90 no, he’s got an injury during a performance last year and is still recovering after a surgery.
@@CanalDoJoshua Damn... I hope he recovers. He's an amazing dancer.
hippolyte90 indeed! It seemed pretty dramatic as it happened in the middle of a performance. He gives some insight on his recovery progress in his Instagram profile.
He tore his Achilles heal.
That balance
beautiful! I danced in the ensemble in my studio's rendition of La Fille, and this adagio is NOT easy for the corps! But SO worth it! It looks amazing!
This ballet is so sweet! It makes me happy.
Osipova is so wonder❤
Gorgeously and aesthetically pleasing! And 1:27 WOW! Missing Steven, can't wait for his return on stage ! 🤞🏻
So beautiful! Natasha is unique!
Bravo!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Wow elegant!
Just beautiful, perfection!
Not related, but I Love Natalia’s dress!
Natalia Osipova, please read/see this! I am just a young girl and I have dreams of being like you and dancing at the royal ballet. You are like the best dancer in the world. You are just so, beautiful. When I look at your face, I immediately think “Natalia Osipova, she’s so good”. Your feet are amazing. You work so hard and you push yourself. That’s what we all love about you. I want you to understand that you’re not just and ordinary human. You are a legend. Out of every single dancer ever, you are one of the best. You have made it so far. You do everything perfect. You have achieved way more than you think. There is something about you that just shines. I saw you dance and I said I need to be just like her. So I did. I tried my hardest in a Nutcracker audition, I pushed my self to the limits. I finally understood that when you work hard it actually pays off. Because I ended up getting the lead role, Clara. At ten years old I’m pretty happy that you got me that spot. Because without you I wouldn’t have been Clara, or anything. I have been dancing for nearly nine years. Honestly, remember me because I hope that one day I will be a professional dancer and be like you. So when I am older look back and say, I wonder if she made it that far? I wouldn’t have been a dancer without your encouragement without even speaking directly to me. You are absolutely amazing. I love you. Love from Canada!! -Scarlett P.S I know you speak mostly Russian so I hope you can understand all this. By the way I am learning Russian, because you inspire me so much. Ok now... -Scarlett 💕💕💕 @Royal Opera House
BRAVO.🕊🇺🇲💕
Beautiful!!!!
Simply adorable
This is so delightful, I wish I could see the whole ballet. (pouty face!)
this is great , I don't think it is mentioned enough apart from the excellent dancers, what a world class set of musicians the Royals orchestra is
Wow amazing smooth that!!
Lembrando q eu tive a honra de dançar com as fitas meu deus chorando ERA LINDO DMS EU AMAVA MSM Q MUITO DIFÍCIL
I love Osipova, but something about her pointe shoes make me nervous
I think so
Likewise. They look like she shouldve changed em 2 performances ago
This! One the hand it’s admirable how strong her feet are, given how soft her shoes always look. There’s a video somewhere where she shows how she adjusts the shoes to her liking (e.g. cutting the vamp and sewing it loosely together), explaining she can’t find the right shoes b/c of bunions etc. While I understand difficult feet and precise needs, I always think it’s a shame she doesn’t have better shoes, because they always look floppy, and somewhat distract from her otherwise beautiful lines. could someone at the Royal Ballet/ Freed / Grishko (don’t know her brand) please find her a good cobbler?! How can a ballerina of her merit not be given a perfectly fitting shoe? It’s also about her health! If she can’t have them, who can?
I felt that
I've noticed in her other performances that she chooses shoes that are very worn. She must prefer them that way.
Its so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️i love it
That promenade is not meant for humans to try.
I LOVE YOU STEVEN
Natalia is the best
Meraviglioso amazing ❤
This is so delightful!
Wspaniały prezent Noworoczny.
A great New Year's gift
This is my new year present
Can we please see more La Fille Mal Gardee?!
Lindo!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻
Wow, este canal es de lo mejor.
Amazing😍😍💞💞
I’m sure this is just as nerve wracking for the corps. Ribbons are always a beast to keep untangled, but more than that, do you want to be the person who pulled too hard and knocked over Natalia Osipova?
Its so pretty
Gracious!
Do yall know what she does to hers shoes that makes them look all bunchy in the front (like this 1:50 or 2:00). I can't figure it out. If you know. Does it have a purpose?
Ooo WOW
すごい重心だ……
I'm watching this wanting his waistcoat.
Don't worry about the shoes, folks, watch the dancing! If you are interested in how a ROH dancer prepares her shoes, the video of Yasmine Naghdi on TH-cam explains a lot. Hint - it involves craft knives and glue, and by the time she's finished she hasn't much sole left in her shoe. It's also very interesting when she's talking about dancing in different cities with different climates.
very.good.dance.l.am.dance.alice.li.
I like both of the dancers, but I still prefer to watch Miss Marianela Nuñez and Mr. Carlos Acosta, they both show so much charming in this piece :)
This is my dirty little secret. I own this version on DVD because I absolutely adore Steven and Natalia. I also own the Acosta/Nuñez too.
But my non dance-don't know squat about ballet friends loved the Acosta/Nuñez version. Their other worldly chemistry just sucks everyone in. My friend will watch that entire performance. The Steven/Natalia version is about 3/4 ths before they call it quits.
i am completely distracted from every Osipova performance, by her very weird feet. It's uncomfortable to watch.
firsttttt
Dear Royal Opera House.
