Event Cinema screening of the Paris Opera Ballet production of 'La Bayadère', choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev after Marius Petipa.
La Bayadère comes to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Monday 15 February 2027, as an Event Cinema screening of the Paris Opera Ballet. It's a full-length production brought to the big screen, so you get the whole thing in one sitting rather than a short clip.
The ballet is set in a dreamlike India and follows the ill-fated love between Solor, a warrior, and Nikiya, a sacred temple dancer. It's a jewel of the Paris Opera repertoire, known for its virtuosic variations and large ensemble scenes. The standout is the 'Kingdom of the Shades' act, where 32 dancers in white tutus trace their arabesques in a single, sweeping sequence.
On stage, the lead roles are played by Dorothée Gilbert as Nikiya, Hugo Marchand as Solor, and Roxane Stojanov as Gamzatti, with the Paris Opera Premières Danseuses, Premiers Danseurs, and the Paris Opera Corps de Ballet filling out the rest. The choreography is by Rudolf Nureyev, based on the original by Marius Petipa. The music is by Ludwig Minkus, adapted and arranged by John Lanchberry and conducted by Koen Kessels, with direction by Julien Condemine.
