La Fille Mal Gardée (The Wayward Daughter) Music by John Lanchberry With the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Choreography by Frederick Ashton Scenario: Jean Dauberville Featuring Mrianela Nuňez as Lise and Carlos Acosta as Colas Extra Feature: synopsis of the story Includes 24 page full-color booklet with the history of La Fille Mal Gardée in English, French, and German by noted author David Vaughan This comedic ballet, originally choreographed by Jean Dauberville in 1790, on the eve of the French Revolution, takes a mocking look at unsophisticated country folk. As re-choreographed by Frederick Ashton in 1960 with an abundance of slapstick humor, it owes as much to British music hall as to classical ballet. The simple story is about how two lovers, Lise and Colas, thwart the plans of Lise’s mother to marry her to a wealthy, but dimwitted suitor. Recorded in 2005. Blu-Ray, 122 min., North America only
