La fille mal gardee – Spring Repertoire Concert
A playful ballet classic with comedy, love and levity
In the spring Mankato Ballet Company features our Performing Company dancers in a full-length ballet. Past productions include Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Coppelia, and A Midsummer’s Eve.
We are very proud to announce our 2026 spring repertoire production will be La fille mal gardee (The poorly guarded girl). This version set by Eryn Michlitsch, Benjamin Johnson and Rebekah Selvey is a two act version of the famous ballet featuring Ferdinand Herold’s famous score created specifically for this ballet. The ballet was inspired by Pierre-Antoine Baudouin’s 1765 painting, La réprimande/Une jeune fille querellée par sa mère.
Enjoy this comedic light hearted ballet classic with its recognizable music, delicate dancing, and beautiful color.
