The temple dancer Nikiya and the warrior Solor fall deeply
in love, igniting heated passions and murderous intrigues when the Rajah and
his daughter Gamzatti discover their forbidden love. La Bayadere is one of the
greatest works in classical ballet history – a story of love, death and
vengeful judgment, set in India. Dazzling sets and costumes, with one of the
most iconic scenes in ballet, the “Kingdom of the Shades,” illuminate the
tragic tale of the temple dancer Nikiya’s doomed love for the warrior Solor,
and their ultimate redemption.
