5 April-22 May: 12 performances of the gorgeous Indian-set roma
nce, with a love triangle in a jungle setting, death by snake-bite, and
the most haunting scene in all 19th-century classical ballet: the Shades. N
atalia Makarova's production completes the story with a collapse of the tem
ple, reconstructed from the first stagings in St Petersburg. The leading r
oles contrast a lyrical ballerina (Nikiya) with a classical one (Gamzatti).Role debuts as Gamzatti from Yuhui Choe, Itziar Mendizabal and Claire Cal
vert, and as Solor from Steven McRae, Nehemiah Kish and Dutch National Ba
llet guest artist Matthew Golding.
