Birmingham Royal Ballet: La Fille Mal Gardee

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 08:20 AM PST

Created in 1960 by one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century, this charming ballet was an instant hit. Funny, tender and true, this lovely ballet of rural bliss will put a spectacular spring in your step. When country beauty Lise falls in love with farm lad Colas, she's about to upset the apple cart. Her mother, Widow Simone, has her own ideas about who her daughter should marry. Enter Thomas, a pompous and wealthy vineyard owner. And Alain, his rich son, attractive as a potato, smart as a turnip and the proud possessor of two left feet. Now watch as each of this merry crew tries to meet their heart's desires. Ever popular because of its simple, engaging story, wonderful wit and pulsating passion, La Fille Mal Gardee remains a firm favourite for all the family.

16 May Wed 7.15 at Cineworld, Cheltenham.
