Three iconic ballets. One unforgettable evening.

Discover the wit, charm and romance of Frederick Ashton, The Royal Ballet’s Founder Choreographer, across three celebrated works.

The programme brings together rare revivals and iconic pieces. It opens with the charming Les Rendezvous, followed by the long-awaited return of Symphonic Variations, and closes with Daphnis and Chloë in its full form for the first time in over 20 years.

Les Rendezvous is a delightful succession of dances following a group of friends who meet in the park. Created in 1933, this was Ashton’s first major ballet for the Vic-Wells company.

The post-war Symphonic Variations (1946) is Ashton’s radiant celebration of ‘pure dance’. Serene in quality and demonstrating an elegant purity in the marriage between movement and music, the ballet remains an indisputable tour de force to this day. 

Inspired by the sublime sensuality of Maurice Ravel’s orchestral work of the same name, Ashton turned to narrative in Daphnis and Chloë. This 1951 ballet abounding in pastoral charm recounts the mythical Greek romance between a goatherd and a shepherdess.
