The ballet "La Bayadère" at the Mikhailovsky Theatre is an exquisite combination of classical simplicity and exotic luxury of the maharajas. This performance, the history of which goes back more than a century and a half, was rethought by Nacho Duato, who preserved the original structure created by Marius Petipa. Duato managed to preserve all the key scenes and dramatic climaxes, as well as valuable fragments of the canonical dance text. However, he freed the ballet from archaic elements and static mimic episodes, adding generous plastic ornamentation.
Ancient India serves as a brilliant background for the love story between a temple dancer and a handsome warrior. Their tragic fate, which does not allow them to be together either in the real or the astral worlds, unfolds against the backdrop of magnificent sets and costumes that enhance the drama and emotional depth of the performance.
The libretto, written by Marius Petipa and Sergei Khudekov, remains true to the original concept, but is given new life thanks to modern choreography and scenography. This ballet, filled with passion and drama, attracts the attention of viewers from all over the world.
