''La Fille mal gardée'' (English: ''The Wayward Daughter'', literal translation: "The Poorly Guarded Girl" and also known as ''The Girl Who Needed Watching'') is a comic ballet presented in two acts, inspired by Pierre-Antoine Baudouin's 1789 painting, ''La réprimande/Une jeune fille querellée par sa mère''. The ballet was originally choreographed by the Ballet Master Jean Dauberval to a pastiche of music based on fifty-five popular French airs. The ballet was premiered on 1 July 1789 at the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France under the title ''Le ballet de la paille, ou Il n'est qu'un pas du mal au bien'' (''The Ballet of Straw, or There is Only One Step from Bad to Good''). ''La Fille mal gardée'' is one of the oldest and most important works in the modern ballet repertory, having been kept alive throughout its long performance history by way of many revivals. The work has undergone many changes of title and has had no fewer than six scores, some of which were adaptations of older music. Today ''La Fille mal gardée'' is normally presented in one of two different versions: many ballet companies feature productions which are derived from Alexander Gorsky's version to the music of Peter Ludwig Hertel, originally staged for the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1903. Gorsky's version was almost entirely based on Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's 1885 staging for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg. The Petipa/Ivanov staging was itself based on Paul Taglioni's version to the music of Peter Ludwig Hertel, originally staged in 1864 for the Court Opera Ballet of the Königliches Opernhaus in Berlin. Modern audiences are perhaps most familiar with the production staged by Frederick Ashton for the Royal Ballet in 1960. The appealing simplicity and the naïve familiarity of the action of ''La Fille mal gardée'' have lent it a popularity that has established it in the repertory of many ballet companies all over the world. ==The origins of ''La Fille mal gardée''== ''La Fille mal gardée'' was the creation of Jean Dauberval, one of the greatest choreographers of his day. He was trained under the influential teacher Jean-Georges Noverre and is further distinguished as the teacher of Charles Didelot, known today as "The Father of Russian Ballet". Legend has it that Dauberval found his inspiration for ''La Fille mal gardée'' while in a Bordeaux print shop, where he viewed an engraving of Pierre-Antoine Baudouin's painting ''Le reprimande/Une jeune fille querellée par sa mère''. The painting showed a girl in tears with her clothes disarrayed being berated by an old woman (presumably her mother) in a hay barn, while her lover can be seen in the background scurrying up the stairs to the safety of the loft. Allegedly this quaint work of art amused Dauberval so much that he immediately set out to craft a suitable scenario for a ballet. The ballet was first presented at the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France on 1 July 1789. Dauberval's wife, la danseuse Marie-Madeleine Crespé (known to history as Mme. Théodore), created the role of Lison (or Lise, as the character is known in modern versions), the danseur Eugène Hus created the role of Colin (or Colas), and Francois Le Riche created the role of the Widow Ragotte (now known as Widow Simone in modern versions). The ballet's original title was ''Le ballet de la paille, ou Il n'est qu'un pas du mal au bien'' ("The Ballet of the Straw, or There is Only One Step from Bad to Good"). The work met with public success and proved to be Dauberval's most popular and enduring work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La fille mal gardée」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
