For folks who are not familiar with this ballet, it's a romantic comedy. The plot is simple. Girl loves poor farm hand. Widowed mother wants her to marry the doltish son of a neighbor. True loves wins out. I saw this production in London about 2 1/2 years ago. This DVD helped me relive wonderful memories. Frederick Ashton did the choreography, and is a genius.

After reading the review by Ms. Ivy Linn I decided that I would take a chance and buy it. I am so glad I did. As an Opus DVD from the BBC of a work performed at the Royal Opera House and directed by Ross MacGibbon the quality of audio and video is assured and there is very little that I need to add to the other review.
