It was on the stage of the Palais Garnier that dancer Rudolf Nureyev revealed himself to Western audiences in 1961, and on the same stage that the choreographer greeted the public for the last time in 1992, with his version of La Bayadère. His final ballet, adapted from Marius Petipa’s own version, reflects Nureyev’s passion for the great repertoire ballets and his taste for flamboyance.
