In recent times, there have been ruthless betting, renewed versions of classics, modernity everywhere, but we have to recognize that among these powerful innovations we need from time to time a stylistic psychological peace, and we seek a therapeutic moment in the performance of the Russian National Ballet.

A classic title, La Bayadère de Léon Minkus, the choreography of the great Marius Petipa and the hyperclassical mise en scène of the 19th century were enough to carry out an elegant and relaxing session. Very nice.

It is true that this group headed by Sergey Radchenko is not at its best, the economic deficiencies are evident (in costumes, in decorations, etc.). ), but above all that the magic of the real ballet was moving around and in the air, in that hour and a half that the play lasts, we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in this romantic, decadent and nice atmosphere as if we were in an old resort. Enough to recommend this show.

This beautiful work released in 1877 has everything to be attractive. Love, passion, death, justice, wonderful ethics… we can find everything. On the other hand, Marius Petipa’s elegant choreography adapted very well to this exotic story, set in 19th-century Imperial India.

The technically competent Russian National Ballet dancers offered an expressive, mystical, very appropriate dance to bring listeners to another era. As we have said, therapeutic.
