Dancers of The Royal Ballet share why they love performing works by Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton.

Frederick Ashton was Founder Choreographer of The Royal Ballet. His works define the English style of ballet, and to celebrate this heritage The Royal Ballet has put together a mixed programme of three of Ashton’s most loved – and most characteristic – works.

The Dream (1964) is an enchanting adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream to music by Mendelssohn. Symphonic Variations (1946) is Ashton’s first masterpiece, and a breathtaking, abstract work on the beauty of pure movement. Marguerite and Armand (1963), inspired by the celebrated dance partnership between Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, is a tragic love story of great lyric beauty.
