A jewel in the Paris National Opera’s repertoire, *La Bayadère* dazzles with its virtuosic variations, its impressive ensemble scenes, and the purity of its “Act of the Shadows,” during which 32 dancers in white tutus slowly trace their arabesques with a poetry bordering on magic.
A ballet in three acts.

Music by Ludwig Minkus
Adaptation and arrangement by John Lanchberry
Musical direction by Koen Kessels
Starring: Dorothée Gilbert, Hugo Marchand, Roxane Stojanov
