The Kirov Ballet’s much-loved 1941 production of La Bayadère returns to the Royal Opera House stage. A melodrama of betrayal and ultimate redemption, the tale of the temple dancer Nikiya’s doomed love for the warrior Solor unfolds in scenes of exotic spectacle in Petipa’s masterpiece, culminating in the breathtaking ‘Kingdom of the Shades’.
