La Bayadere has been restaged and revived many times throughout its long performance history, most notably by Marius Petipa (1900, for the Imperial Ballet), Alexander Gorsky and Vasily Tikhomirov (1904 for the Ballet of the Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre), Agrippina Vaganova (1932, for the Kirov Ballet), Vakhtang Chabukiani and Vladimir Ponomaryov (1941, for the Kirov Ballet), Rudolf Nureyev (1963the scene The Kingdom of the Shades, for the Royal Ballet), Natalia Makarova (1974the scene The Kingdom of the Shades; and 1980full-length, for American Ballet Theatre), Rudolf Nureyev (1992, for the Paris Opera Ballet), and Sergei Vikharev (2001in...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=504914
