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
