La Fille Mal Gardée

The Royal Ballet
20 April 2012 to 16 May 2012
Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes | 1 interval

Frederick Ashton’s sunny story of young love is one of the most delightful and popular works in the Royal Ballet repertory. Full of charm, the story follows the youthful affections of Lise and Colas as they arrange their secret assignations right under the nose of Lise’s protective mother, Widow Simone. Ashton’s choreography brings alive this storybook village, from its dancing hens through to the merrymaking locals round the maypole. There are joyous ensembles, characterful solos – Widow Simone’s clog dance is always a favourite – and romantic pas de deux of the most engaging kind. The wonderfully colourful sets and costumes and the tuneful music by Hérold – conducted by the Royal Ballet’s Music Director Barry Wordsworth – adds to a treat that will appeal to all ages and all enthusiasts for the delights of dance.

	07/02/11 - RETURN TO SHEER GRACE AND POISE IN SWAN LAKE With Darren Aronofsky's film Black Swan annoying dance fans with its so-so dance scenes, it's a relief to see a real Swan Lake in all its theatrical and choreographic unity. Having Zenaida Yanowsky in the ballet is also a considerable plus. The senior Royal Ballet dancer has been less seen in recent years, having been away having children, but her performance in the twin Swan Lake lead roles of Odette-Odile proved her absence hasn't stalled her artistry. If anything, her time out has brought a greater range and depth to her dancing and acting. Her Odile, the dark-hearted black swan who deceives the Prince, was especially assured. It's easy to turn the character, and the dancing, into a come-hither vamp who dupes the prince with her blatant sexual availability. The prince, like most men, may be vulnerable to this tactic but he is no fool - and very much in love with the white swan, Odette. Yanowsky's approach is to reel him in with a combination of curve and poise, her back and neck in arching hints of sexual pleasure while her composure combined with a contrived restraint leaves the confused prince especially vulnerable. Running until April 8th at Royal Opera House. See tickets. Source: www.thisislondon.co.uk
