...mood and rural setting, A Month in the Country is kin to Ashton's Enigma Variations, his last important ballet, created before he retired as the Royal's director. This time Ashton's gift for evoking another age is enhanced by a musical collage of Chopin.

This is quite the prettiest ballet to light the stage of the Metropolitan Opera in some time and a high light of the Royal...
