The Mariinsky Ballet dance Petipa’s great classical ballet of love, betrayal and ultimate redemption.
Set in mythical India, Petipa’s lavish melodrama of love, betrayal and ultimate redemption tells the tale of the temple dancer Nikiya’s doomed love for the warrior Solor. Scenes of exotic spectacle culminate in the choreographic glory of the ‘Kingdom of the Shades’, one of the greatest treasures in the company’s repertory. The Mariinsky’s matchless soloists and exquisite corps de ballet combine to create an experience that captures the soul with its magnificence, poignancy and excitement.
