La fille mal gardée (English: The Wayward Daughter, literal translation: “The Poorly Guarded Girl”), Frederick Ashton’s Royal Ballet production, began in 1959 when British choreographer Frederick Ashton created a new version of La fille mal gardée for the Royal Ballet of London. This production premiered on 28 January 1960, with Nadia Nerina as Lise, David Blair as Colas, Stanley Holden as the Widow Simone, and Alexander Grant as Alain. Since its inception Ashton’s staging has become a celebrated classic of the ballet repertory.
