La Fille mal gardée Blu-ray (The Royal Ballet) 2015A Royal Ballet classic, La Fille mal garde was an immediate hit with the British public. Choreographed by Frederick Ashton in 1960, it is a highly lyrical and technically demanding take on the simple tale of love prevailing, which underpins this charming story. This 2015 revival is a company triumph (The Independent), with Principals Natalia Osipova and Steven McRae creating terrific onstage chemistry and delivering outstanding solo performances
