Marius Petipa`s seminal work La Bayadère, was first performed at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1877 in a grandiose production. When Bayadère Nikiya – a temple dancer – and Solor meet, they swear eternal fidelity to each other. They are unaware that the High Brahmin, also in love with Nikiya, overhears them and decides to take revenge.
