La Bayadère

..Opera House, Covent Garden.

...'Let’s take a moment to appreciate the genius of Marianela Núñez. Even when all around her are dancing on the surface, the Argentinian ballerina can turn up and make you want to weep. In her first entrance as Nikiya, the temple dancer in La Bayadère, all she does is walk, slowly and deliberately, a veil over her face. Yet in those few short moments you can see a woman who senses her fate is about to be decided.'
Lyndsey Winship, Guardian
