Dutch National Ballet's new production of La Bayadère does away with the ballet’s problematic gestures and movements, allowing the choreography to truly shine.

A deeply psychological version of the fairytale, Jean-Christophe Maillot's Cendrillon provides ample opportunities for the whole cast to delve into their characters and rise to the technical challenges.

Splendid and impeccable, endowed with striking virtuosity, the corps de ballet functions both as choir and living scenography, accompanying and sustaining the protagonists. Ma Bayadère in Monte-Carlo is spectacular.
