Discover Frederick Ashton’s groundbreaking artistry in this exclusive showcase of three defining works from The Royal Ballet’s founding choreographer, Rhapsody, Scènes de Ballet, and A Month in the Country. The program begins with “Rhapsody,” where Francesca Hayward and Marcelino Sambé honor Mikhail Baryshnikov’s original interpretation. Set to Rachmaninoff’s sweeping score, their precise footwork sparkles with rhythmic clarity. “Scènes de Ballet” features Sarah Lamb and Vadim Muntagirov navigating Stravinsky’s intricate rhythms while tracing striking geometric patterns across the stage. The emotional centerpiece, “A Month in the Country,” presents Marianela Nuñez in a poignant portrayal of restrained passion, perfectly attuned to Chopin’s lyrical melodies. Ashton’s signature style, marked by elegant épaulement, expressive foot articulation, and seamless musical phrasing, is fully realized in this program. Technically dazzling and emotionally layered, this is a must-watch for anyone seeking to experience the enduring power of Frederick Ashton’s legacy.
