Description

The Royal Ballet’s stunning reimagining of Marius Pepita’s 19th-century classic brings an exotic world of temple dancers and noble warriors to life. Set in mythical India, La Bayadère tells the fantastic tale of Nikiya, a temple dancer, and the warrior prince who loves her but marries another. Exquisite choreography, dramatic storytelling and Minkus’ timeless score collide in Natalia Makarova’s new production, culminating in the ‘Kingdom of the Shades,’ one of the greatest treasures in modern ballet. 

Includes one fifteen-minute intermission.

Co-presented with Tours en l'air Ballet Holidays
