Get ready for a delightful treat this autumn at Sadler’s Wells! La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is a comedic ballet that will have you laughing and clapping from start to finish.
The story follows Lise, a young woman torn between two suitors: a wealthy but clumsy gentleman and a charming but penniless farmhand. Her mother, however, has other plans for her future, leading to a hilarious clash of wills.
Created by Sir Frederick Ashton, this ballet combines stunning classical dance with witty comedy, featuring clog dancing, a lovable pony, and live music by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia. It’s the perfect entertainment for families, friends, and anyone looking for a fun and memorable evening.
