La
Bayadère is set in India, with its unique character and colourful
culture. The story describes the epic love between Nikiya, a temple dancing
girl, and the warrior Solar. Sadly, the unlucky lovers have no choice but to
separate. This classic Russian ballet features a riotous profusion of brightly
coloured costumes that are strongly reminiscent of India.
