This week Vidar is reviewing Birmingham Royal Ballet’s revival of Frederick Ashton’s ballet ‘La fille mal gardée’ at the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describers Julia Grundy and Jonathan Nash.
About ‘La fille mal gardée’
Lise has a choice to make. Loaded country bumpkin or penniless, hunky farmhand? Of course, there’s no contest, but her mum has other ideas.
Heels are dug in and sparks fly, as a mother-daughter battle ensues. Mixing spectacular classical ballet with slick comedy, a clog-dancing dame, and a super-cute pony, as well as live music by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, this is fantastic entertainment for you, your friends, and all your family whether it’s their first ballet or a much-loved favourite.
