La Bayadère

Music by Ludwig Minkus, choreography by Natalia Makarova after Marius Petipa

This classic ballet set in the exotic world of legendary India tells  the  tale  of  a  temple  dancer  and  the prince  who  loves  her  but  marries  another.  The famous,  moonlit  ‘white  act’  –  The  Kingdom of  the  Shades  –  is  a  corps  de  ballet  highlight, as  multiple  images  of  the  prince’s  lost  love  haunt  his  mind. The  choreography  allows two  opposing  ballerinas  to  shine,  while a bronze idol  comes  vividly  to  life  in  a  stunning solo.   

Approx 3hrs 5 mins incl two intervals
