The Royal Ballet: A Month in the Country (Marianela Nuez and Matthew Ball)

Marianela Nuñez and Matthew Ball dance the elegant pas de deux from Frederick Ashton's A Month in the Country. Ashton gracefully reimagines Turgenev's play A Month in the country as a one-act ballet where all the drama unfolds in the family's living room upon the arrival of dashing young tutor. Characters come in and out, their feelings for one another displayed through solos and pas de deux, highlighting Ashton's talent for playing out complex drama through detailed and intricate choreography. #royaloperahouse Enjoy this video?
