In the interim, the ballet has lost none of its appeal. It was at the Golders Green Hippodrome, and my overriding memory is that Blair’s jumps were so high that he leapt up to the top of the amphitheatre, where we were seated. I first saw La Fille mal gardée in the early sixties with Nadia Nerina and David Blair in the lead roles. © Dave Morgan, courtesy the Royal Opera House. Osbert Lancaster’s front screen for Frederick Ashton’s La Fille mal gardée. Wonderful to note too, that in the corps de ballet are the faces of future principals, Steven McRae (on pony duty), and Lise’s Friends who include Laura Morera, Sarah Lamb and Lauren Cuthbertson. It seems unimaginable – she is so accomplished. Núñez revealed recently that this film was actually her debut in the role. In the lead roles are Nuñez, with Carlos Acosta as Colas and William Tuckett as Widow Simone, and they all capture the essence of what Fille is about. This particular recording, directed by Ross MacGibbon, is from 2005. And for all the brilliant dancing on offer, and every box is ticked, I think that the brightest star of this extraordinary ballet is Ashton himself. In the words of Marianela Núñez, who dances Lise in this streaming, “This is the perfect ballet.” We all need a big dose of Sir Frederick Ashton’s La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter), especially now.
