Russian State Ballet of Siberia

Recreated by Alexander Gorsky, this remains one of the oldest ballets still regularly performed.

A gentle tale of love thwarted, unrequited and found, it is a masterpiece of comedy. With plenty of ribbons, romance and rivalry, La Fille Mal Gardée conjures up a world of pastoral simplicity where a farm boy woos a flirty farmer's daughter and they find inventive ways to avoid her mother.

Complete with virtuoso pas de deux, maypole and clog dances, this classic ballet sends audiences home happy, delighting those enjoying it for the very first time as well as those for whom it is a regular favourite.
