Ashton’s ballets are in copyright, the rights being owned by various individuals and by the Frederick Ashton Foundation itself. If you, your company or school wish to discuss obtaining a licence to perform a ballet, ballet extract or divertissement by Frederick Ashton, please contact in the first instance:

Licensing Administrator
Licences for ballets owned or administered on behalf of the rightsholder by the Foundation require that an approved Ashton Repetiteur is engaged to teach, coach and stage the work. These freelance artists must be contracted separately from the Foundation’s licence.
