The second Bolshoi's Ballet we have seen in Covent Garden last summer was La Bayadere.
"Petipa's masterpiece of passion, betrayal and redemption, culminationg in the breathtaking " Kingdon of Shades", danced to perfection by the Bolshoi's incomparable corps de ballet.
Dazzling new decor and costumes by Nikolai Sharonov illuminate the tragic tale of the temple dancer Nikiya's doomed love for the warrior Solor."
Royal Opera House Summer guide
It's always amazing to see 2 fantastic primas in one ballet. Svetlana Zakharova performed Nikiya's role while Maria Alexandrova amazed as Princess Gamzatti. Unfortunately during this performance accident happen and Maria Alexandrova got injured on stage. We wish her very quick recovery and hope to see her in London soon again !
