About the Film:
Music by Cesare Pugni Choreographed by Pierre Lacotte after Marius Petipa.
175 mins including two intermissions
A young English Lord traveling through Egypt takes shelter in a pyramid where he has fantastic dreams about the Pharaoh’s daughter rising from her tomb. The Pharaoh’s Daughter, a hit when first staged in 1862, fell out of favor with the Soviet regime. In 2000, Pierre Lacotte was commissioned to resurrect Petipa’s mighty Egyptian fresco, and it became a hit yet again.
