"La Bayadère" is one of the few performances that has everything that can only be found in a ballet production: dramaturgical depth, a wide space for creativity in acting, this is the subtle world of oriental drama, and love, and betrayal, and death. In addition, it contains many complex elements, the execution of which requires impeccable technique. It is important that this ballet also has the purest classic - the third act, the act of shadows. This is the highlight of the ballet "La Bayadère", this is what makes it complex and beautiful, - says Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Erkin Rakhmatullaev. - This is exactly the performance that can be performed many times and each time find something new for yourself. At the same time, with each exit on the stage, you grow more, develop and find some fresh colors and nuances in the interpretation of the image of Solor, or Gamzatti, or Nikiya, and so on. It is in the act of shadows that I always find new touches in terms of the internal state of my character. Having lost his beloved, Solor blames himself for not having time to hear her forgiveness. You can watch La Bayadère endlessly, be inspired and enjoy it. And for each artist participating in it, this is a great development in terms of career."
