Watch The Pharaoh's Daughter - Marius Petipa, Pierre Lacotte, Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow
- 1 hr 41 min
Choreographed by Marius Petipa after Théophile Gautier's Le Roman de la momie, The Pharaoh's Daughter encountered great success when it was first premiered in 1862. In 2000, Pierre Lacotte was invited to the Bolshoi Theatre to create a new rendition of the ballet. The dreams of opium, the Egyptian-inspired costumes and settings as well as the story itself drive the audience into an exotic world.
