La Fille mal gardée has a long history on the ballet stage. It was first performed in the 1780s, when it was set to an assortment of French songs and melodies. It passed through several further versions before Frederick Ashton recreated it for The Royal Ballet in 1960. The new score is adapted and arranged by John Lanchbery from the music of Ferdinand Hérold.
