Western ballet has a long history of exoticizing the East, and Marius Petipa's "The Pharaoh's Daughter," which first had its premiere in 1862, is one such example. (The start of construction on the Suez Canal in 1859 may have served as inspiration.) In 2000, Moscow's storied Bolshoi Ballet commissioned Pierre Lacotte to revive the work. Now this beautiful, large-scale, expertly danced exercise in nostalgia and cultural fetishization returns to New York via the big screen, starring the superlative Svetlana Zakharova.
