★ What is the story of La Bayadère?
The original choreography for the ballet La Bayadère was created by Marius Petipa.
“The Kingdom of the Shades” from the second act is probably one of the most recognized scenes of not only the ballet itself, but of all classical repertoire. It is so much so that this thirty-two member corps de ballet composition, despite being extremely academic in choreographic nature, is often presented independently from the full-length work.
