"La Bayadère" will open on the 2nd of March.

This new production of "La Bayadère", featuring choreography revised in 2000 by MAKI Asami, is known for its stylistic beauty, spectacular and fast-paced development on stage, and gorgeous Oriental stage design. Love square between Nikiya, a dancer at a temple, her lover Solor, a warrior serving the rajah, Gamzatti, the rajah's daughter who has taken a liking to Solor, and the High Brahmin who has feelings for Nikiya is also trying to get his way. The work exudes character at every turn, and the stunning set in the Realm of Shadows slowly gliding down the three-tiered slope is spectacular. Also a breath-taking beauty of the scene at the end of the story, in which the temple collapses with a thunderous roar while Nikiya and Solor ascend to heaven, is simply divine.
