Kaleria Fedicheva was a totally unremarkable Kirov dancer of the day who, at the late age of 26 somehow got promoted to soloist, and then principal dancer. Undeservedly, some said. She would speak of of her peer and rival of her time as "that frog, Komleva". Fedicheva was not a very kind person, it would seem.
Interesting fact: they are dancing to recorded music. The footage of the orchestra was edited in. And for whatever reason they used a different backdrop for the Shades scene.

I watched this film. almost 40 years ago; In a Theater Movie who showed only Russian film at Buenos Aires City at Argentina 🇦🇷 Thanks for uploading this film. 👏👏👏👏🌹♥️
La Bayadere will forever be my favourite ballet by a long shot. La Bayadere is the definition of ethereal, unlike any other ballet it’s biblical and never fails to bring me to tears, It’s almost like the epitome of what heaven would look like
Actually, there is very little heaven and mostly betrayal, jealousy and murder, high price to pay for that "heaven", don't forget in original version everybody dies in a temple collapse, nothing heavenly about it but that is why I love this ballet, for it's drama and the true love of Solor and Nikiya because his betrayal was forced by the father of Nikiya's rival.
