"Natalia Makarovas production of La Bayadère (The Temple Dancer) for the London Royal Ballet was originally created in 1980 for the American Ballet Theatre. The original Marius Petipa Bayadère ballet was produced for the Kirov Theatre and in 1992, a year after the filming of this Royal Opera House production, Nureyev would produce his own choreography at the Paris Opera, also based on Petipas version. The ballet has a strong part not only for a leading ballerina but also for the supporting role of Gamsatti, played here by Darcey Bussell and it was for her that the audience reserved their loudest applause. Makarovas choreography was beautifully conceived for the lead roles and her two leading ladies did her proud. Both Asylmuratova and Bussell were supremely graceful and elegant. An exotic and colourful production with some superb dancing by the leads but with some uneven support and rather uninspired sets and costumes."
