Výpravná baletní komedie v choreografii Fredericka Ashtona

Balet Národního divadla

Partnership performance

La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of the oldest ballets (it was created in 1789), it is still widely staged and hugely popular. Why is that? Because it celebrates the joy of life and – above all – love. It is colorful and full of humor, dancers make audiences smile. 

A fascinating comedy, pure pleasure, intoxication by dance! Very suitable for children!
