Discover choreographer Frederick Ashton's version of this famous pantomime ballet at the Palais Garnier.
The Palais Garnier presents La Fille mal gardée, from 15 March to 1 April 2024. Created in 1789 at the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux by Jean Dauberval, this ballet-pantomime offers a joyous look at the world of peasants, which inspired the English choreographer Frederick Ashton in 1960 to create a version full of humour and freshness that has become a benchmark. As Lise and Colas fall in love, Simone, the young woman's mother, imagines a completely different destiny for her daughter and organises her marriage to Alain, a foolish but rich man.
