La Bayadère

The season ends with the Mariinsky Ballet's magnificent production of La Bayadère, a lavish melodrama of love, betrayal and ultimate redemption set in a legendary India. The tale of the temple dancer Nikiya's doomed love for the warrior Solor unfolds in scenes of exotic spectacle in one of Petipa's greatest works, culminating in the choreographic glory of the 'Kingdom of the Shades', one of the greatest treasures in the company's repertoire. The Mariinsky's matchless ensemble of soloists and corps de ballet captures the soul with its beauty.
