Summary

"Three contrasting ballets by the Royal Ballet's founder choreographer Frederick Ashton: The dream (1964) is an enchanting adaptation of Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream to music by Mendelssohn. Symphonic variations (1946) is an early Ashton masterpiece, and a breathtaking, abstract work on the beauty of pure movement. Marguerite and Armand (1963) ... is a tragic love story of great lyric beauty."--Container.
