Marius Petipaâs exotic ballet set in legendary India is a story of love, death and vengeful judgement. Natalia Makarovaâs sumptuous recreation of Petipaâs choreography, with atmospheric sets by Pier Luigi Samaritini and beautiful costumes by Yolanda Sonnabend, stars Tamara Rojo as the Bayadère (temple dancer) Nikiya, Carlos Acosta as Solor, and Marianela NuĂąez as Gamzatti, whose alluring presence challenges Solorâs love for Nikiya. Live performance recorded in 2009.
