The renowned St Petersburg Ballet Theatre continues its 2015 international tour with its London Coliseum season. Internationally acclaimed Irina Kolesnikova brings together stars of the Mariinsky Theatre, and the Bolshoi Theatre in a spell-binding production of La Bayadere. La Bayadere is an exotic and mesmerising tale of love, murder and vengeful judgement by the Gods, set in the perfumed gardens and lavish palaces of India. Although the complete ballet is seldom seen in the west, there is hardly a company around that can perform to this degree the mesmerising and more frequently seen Kingdom of the Shades sequence. With lavish costumes, beautiful sets, a company of 55 and leading ballet performers appearing on a rotating basis as part of the season, this magnificent production is not to be missed.
