Marius Petipa's exotic ballet, set in legendary and mysterious India, is a story of love, death and vengeful judgement. Yuri Grigorovich's sumptuous recreation of Petipa's choreography, with breathtaking sets and costumes designed by Nikolay Sharonov, stars Svetlana Zakharova as the Bayadère Nikiya, Vladislav Lantratov as Solor and Maria Alexandrova as Gamzatti the jealous rival.

"Kitsch even by classical ballet standards, this Bolshoi production of the Marius Petipa-choreographed oriental fantasy wit bland music by Minkus boasts a celebrated Kingdom of Shades sequence." (BBC)

"Perhaps the best Gamzatti captured on film since the Kirov's Tantina Terekhova in 1977" (Dancing Times)
