 Bayadere
Nikiya's love
La Bayadere is a masterpiece of ballet music that depicts a passionate yet pathetic love between a bayadere (female dancer) and a warrior in the setting of ancient India.
Called La Bayadere in French, this title refers to a female dancer who serves at an Indian temple.
Nikiya, a bayadere, falls in love with Solor, a young troop commander who
serves a Rajah (king). However, Gamzatti, daughter of the Rajah for whom
Solor works, wants to marry him and the Rajah tries to have her wish realized.
An officer in the royal army, Solor cannot go against the Rajah's wish and
consents to marry Gamzetti. On the day of the betrothal ceremony, Nikiya
dances a congratulatory dance in the lowest of spirits. She is then lured
into a trap and bitten by a poisonous snake and dies. In total despair,
Solor has hallucinations in which he meets Nikiya again and spends a happy
time with her. When he comes out of these dreams, however, with a loud roaring
sound the temple collapses due to the anger of the gods. And the lovers
rise to heaven through a ray of light.
Because of its grand scale, this masterpiece, full of overwhelming exoticism
and poetic sentiment, has not been given many performance opportunities
worldwide. In February of this year, the NNTT presented only the Kingdom
of Shades act, famous for its fantastic scenes. It was well received by
the audience, and in the forthcoming performance, the NNTT will present
all of the acts for those eager to see the complete work. In addition to
Anna Antonicheva from the Bolshoy Ballet Company and Carlos Acosta from
the British Royal Ballet Company, both of whom will be invited as guest
dancers, soloists of marked individuality will dance various fascinating
dances. You will also enjoy the new elaborate stage setting and costume
produced by the British designer A. Livingston and the beautiful melodies
conducted by John Lanchbery, who is also responsible for the arrangement
of music for this work. |
