About
"This collection celebrates the masterful artistry of The Royal Ballet’s Founder Choreographer, Frederick Ashton, with three defining works. A pioneer of 20th-century dance, Ashton brought elegance, innovation and emotional depth to the stage, shaping the identity of British ballet for generations. Scènes de ballet distils classical technique into a striking study of form and symmetry. Ashton gracefully reimagines Turgenev’s play A Month in the Country as a one-act ballet where all the drama unfolds in the family’s living room upon the arrival of a dashing young tutor. Rhapsody, created for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Lesley Collier, blends virtuosic movement with lyrical beauty, set to Rachmaninoff’s sweeping score. Together, these works offer a vivid portrait of Ashton’s genius" Scènes de ballet distils classical technique into a striking study of form and symmetry.
