PARIS OPERA BALLET
BALLET IN THREE ACTS
LIBRETTO BY MARIUS PETIPA AND SERGEY KHOUDEKOV
Marius Petipa's seminal work La Bayadère, recounting the impossible love between the sacred dancer Nikiya and the warrior Solor, remained unknown for a long time in the West. It was only in 1992, at the end of both his career and his life, that Rudolf Nureyev revived the ballet in a version of which the Paris Opera is the sole legatee.
