Pierre Lacotte’s spectacular reconstruction of Petipa’s 1862 extravaganza The Pharaoh’s Daughter was a sensational success with audiences during the Bolshoi’s season at Covent Garden two years ago.

A stunning opening to the Company’s ballet season, this sumptuous production contains magnificent processions, a lion hunt and a spectacular underwater celebration.

A young archaeologist, stranded in a pyramid during a desert storm, dreams of his love for Aspicia, the Pharaoh’s beautiful daughter. Their exotic adventures provide the impetus for an unforgettable feast of dazzling choreography, monumental sets and gorgeous costumes.
