Royal Ballet brings pastoral charm to the Torch Theatre

Published

on

Audiences can escape to the countryside this November as The Royal Ballet’s much-loved La Fille mal gardée comes to the Torch Theatre screen in Milford Haven.

Brimming with warmth, wit and exquisite choreography, Frederick Ashton’s classic tells the story of Lise, a spirited young woman who dreams of marrying her true love, Colas. Her mother, the formidable Widow Simone, has other plans – she hopes to secure a wealthy match by marrying Lise off to Alain, the dim-witted son of a prosperous landowner. What follows is a joyful tale of love, mischief and defiance as Lise plots to outwit her mother’s ambitions.

Sixty-five years after its premiere, Ashton’s masterpiece remains a sparkling celebration of English village life, filled with humour and heart. With Ferdinand Hérold’s cheerful score and Osbert Lancaster’s colourful designs, this production is often described as Ashton’s love letter to the English countryside.

Supported by philanthropist Aud Jebsen and the Opera Principle Julia Rausing Trust, this Royal Ballet performance has earned five-star reviews from The Times, The Independent, The Express and the London Evening Standard.

La Fille mal gardée will be shown at the Torch Theatre on Sunday, November 9 at 2:00pm.
Tickets are £20 (£18 concessions, £9 under-26s).
For bookings, call the Box Office on 01646 695267 or visit torchtheatre.co.uk.
