La Bayadere

La Bayadère was first staged in 1877 by Marius Petipa, ballet’s most hallowed choreographer. Today’s high-def presentation of the piece (title translates to “the temple dancer”) is a Paris Opera Ballet production reworked for the company by Rudolf Nureyev. Ballet at its finest, people. See it at the Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 816-561-5222) at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, August 5, or and Wednesday, August 8. Tickets cost $15. See tivolikc.com for information and tickets.
