Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bussell steals the show
Asylmuratov is a good Nikiya but there is something about her arms which constantly bother me. Perhaps it's the thinness or her rather stiff port de bras..I don't know.

Bussell on the other hand is just beautiful in the second ballerina role of Gamzatti. Her jumps are magnificent and although she is not known for her acting, her regal turn as the Princess here is very effective.

The sets are beautiful and the staging effective. However, the quality of the video is not the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Nice Blend of Grace and Athleticism
The Royal Ballet's "La Bayadere" was filmed live at Covent Garden in 1991. This production features choreography by Natalia Makarova after Maurius Petipa. Over the years, Makarova has received critical acclaim for her productions of "La Bayadere." The star-studded cast includes Irek Mukhamedov and Darcey Bussell of the Royal Ballet, along with guest artist Altynai Asylmuratova of the Kirov Ballet. Each dancer brings such wonderful, yet diverse, qualities to the production. The role of Nikiya ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A very beautiful production
This is one of my favourite ballet videos and I found this staging of La Bayadere very beautiful. And I am a huge fan of Asylmuratova and she completes this ballet. What I liked best is that three great dancers from different backgrounds came together (Bussell from the Royal; Mukhamedov from the Bolshoi; Asylmuratova from the Kirov)for this production. You won't ever regret buying this video.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - La Bayadere
This is my favorite ballet video (I have over 50). The dancing is wonderful. Darcey Bussell leaps so high in the air. And Altynai Asylmuratova is just perfect for the part. If you buy this video you won't regret it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Royal Ballet = Simplicity At It's Finest
La Bayadere performed by the Royal Ballet is in fact the best production of this ballet, bar none. The Royal Ballet is one of the most exquisite companies, always producing top of the line performances, maybe because of: some of the best trained dancers from their school, super star guests, beautiful choreography, amazing stage production, who knows? With the addition of Ms. Darcy Bussell, one of the finest dancers of the 21st century, this ballet is complete. The dancers are well rehearsed, ... Read More
