Bright colors of India and a multitude of wonderfully beautiful dances - the ballet by Ludwig Minkus in the edition of the famous Mariinsky ballerina Natalia Makarova. "La Bayadère" is recognized worldwide as a classic of ballet art. This ballet is not as well-known as "Swan Lake" by the same author, but often appeals to the audience more with its vivid, dynamic images. The music was composed in the 19th century by the Austrian composer Ludwig Minkus, and the literary source was the ballad by J. W. Goethe "God and the Bayadère" and the eponymous Eastern legend. The plot centers around the love of the beautiful bayadère, Indian dancer Nikiya, for the brave warrior Solor. Jealousy, obstacles for the lovers, intrigues, the wrath of the gods, and as the apotheosis of all this - the suicide of the main heroine, who realizes that she cannot be with her beloved. In short, the audience is in for a true Eastern fairy tale. This time, the ballet will be staged according to the version of Marius Petipa, in the edition of the Mariinsky ballerina Natalia Makarova, known worldwide for her theatrical productions of Russian classics. "La Bayadère" is a sensual, colorful tale for adults, with Eastern flavor and strong emotions. Bright costumes, unusual decorations, excellent choreography, and wonderful music make this ballet a true treasure of Russian culture.
