Marius Petipa’s choreography takes the audience to legendary India to witness the tragic love story between a temple dancer and a noble warrior. La Bayadère is an excellent example of the classical ballet tradition, but the new Hungarian National Balett production will prove to be a real treat. The records of the original 1877 choreography are incomplete, the fourth act of the ballet is lost. Thanks to the efforts of ballet master / choreographer Albert Mirzoyan, with the reconstruction of the missing parts, the complete story can be enjoyed again.
Running time 3 hours 21 minutes including two intervals
