• 170mins | rated (12A TBC)

While traveling in Egypt, Lord Wilson is caught in a sandstorm and finds refuge in the nearest

pyramid where Aspicia, the daughter of one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, lies entombed.

When he falls asleep, lulled by the haze of opium, Aspicia comes to life and his passion for her

will take him on a fantastic journey.

About the ballet

French choreographer Pierre Lacotte brilliantly resurrected a forgotten masterpiece exclusively

for the Bolshoi Ballet nearly twenty years ago - Marius Petipa’s The Pharaoh’s Daughter. With

its exotic setting, spectacular dancing and scenes choreographed for nearly the entire Bolshoi

troupe, this stunning Egyptian fresco is one of the most remarkable productions in the

company’s repertoire.
