La Bayadere is a Royal ballet favourite, with a tale of love , murder and vengeful judgement by the Gods, set in legendary India.
The figures are based on ballerina Bryony Brind former principal dancer at The Royal Ballet, and famed Russian dancer Rudolph Nureyev, who was perhaps the most well known male dancer from the 1960s to 1980s, working with many of the leading dancers including Margot Fonteyn.
