La Bayadere
Royal Opera House, London
Tue, 23rd October 2007 - Sat, 27th October 2007
From £16.00*October 6, 2007 to October 27, 2007 Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes Background La Bayadère – ‘The Temple Dancer’– is a full-length 19th-century ballet classic. The story of love, murder and vengeful judgement by the gods is set against colourful exoticism of India. A beautiful temple dancer is in love with a warrior, but becomes a victim of her jealous rival and of the High Brahmin. There are powerful moments for the two opposing ballerinas, evocative ensembles and a stunning solo as a bronze idol comes vividly to life. The most famous part of all – beautifully staged in this Royal Ballet production by Natalia Makarova – is the sublime, sustained ‘Kingdom of the Shades’, whose moonlit scene of a seemingly endless train of ballerinas is a magical recreation of another world. redits Choreography Marius Petipa Natalia Makarova Costume Designs Yolanda Sonnabend Lighting John B Read Production Natalia Makarova Set Designs Pier Luigi Samaritani Performers Conductor tba Nikiya Zenaida Yanowsky Sarah Lamb Marianela Nuñez Tamara Rojo Alina Cojocaru Roberta Marquez Gamzatti Mara Galeazzi Alexandra Ansanelli Deirdre Chapman Marianela Nuñez Laura Morera Lauren Cuthbertson Solor Roberto Bolle Viacheslav Samodurov Thiago Soares Carlos Acosta Johan Kobborg Ivan Putrov
