"Even if you don't usually like ballet, you'll be awestruck by the pageantry on display here in probably the most opulent production the Paris Opera Ballet has ever mounted."

"This is balletic spectacle on the grandest of scales, and Nureyev marshaled a really incredible production here as his personal farewell to the art he helped revolutionize. Even if you don't usually like ballet, you'll be awestruck by the pageantry on display here in probably the most opulent production the Paris Opera Ballet has ever mounted."

Exotic and mysterious India serves as the backdrop to this story of doomed love between the warrior Solor and the bayadere, Nikiya, who is killed by her jealous rival, Gamzatti.
Breathtaking sets and costumes are designed by Ezio Frigerio and Franca Squarciapino in this exceptional production, recorded at the Palais Garnier in Paris. Direction and choreography in this fully restored version of Marius Petipa's original ballet are by Rudolf Nureyev.
