Description Frederick Ashton's definitive version of this superbly constructed ballet is notable for its vitality and good humour. A story of rustic love and its complications, it is set against a background of colourful and witty designs by the celebrated cartoonist, Osbert Lancaster and danced to John Lanchbery's effervescent arrangement of some of the most delightful ballet music ever written. 1989 marks the 200th Anniversary of the first production, in Bordeaux, of this great classic.
