An Evening Of Ballet
The next piece from the exotic, Orient inspired La Bayadere, is the love story of the Indian dancer Nayika and warrior Solor.
As part of the third edition of Bonjour India’s year-long celebrations, a ballet troupe from France presented an evening of ballet, traditional as well as contemporary — Paris Ballet Legends. Comprising eight dancers from the Paris, Madrid and Rome operas, the evening presented eight pieces, each a story of love, each chosen as a tribute to India, according to artistic director Frederic Fontan. As the ambassador to France H.E. Alexandre Ziegler said, in his opening speech, ballet has a 400 year old tradition in France and is a constantly evolving dance form.
