Inspired by Pierre-Antoine Baudouin’s 1765 painting La Réprimande, La fille mal gardée—which translates to “The Poorly Guarded Girl” — is a lighthearted two-act ballet set to Ferdinand Hérold’s beloved score. The story follows Lise, a young woman whose mother hopes to marry her off for wealth, while Lise is secretly in love with Colas, a boy from her village. Through clever schemes and comic mishaps, the two lovers accidentally outwit an arranged marriage.

Enjoy this joyful ballet classic filled with humor, romance, and
playful charm.
