Inspired by the French composer Delibes, he thought to create a concert suite of the music.

Premiered by the Ballet of the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris, France on January 23 1856, the original music was entirely by Adolphe Adam. Over the years, significant revisions and the addition of a substantial amount of new music has involved numerous other composers in the ballet, including Cesare Pugni, Léok Delibes, Ludwig Minkus, Pyotr Oldenburgsky, Ivan Trubetskoy, and Antoine Simon. Riccardo Drigo's (1846-1930) contribution of the \"Pas de Deux\" was requested by choreographer Marius Petipa's 1899 revival as a spectacular vehicle for the reigning ballerina, Pierna Legnani, and is now among classical ballet's most iconic and performed excerpts. This edition was orchestrated and revised by William McDermott in 1987.

In four act and seven tableaux, the ballet tells the story of the bayadère Nikiya and the warrior Solor, lovers who are beset by jealous rivals, arranged marriages beyond their control, murder, an opium-fueled hallucination of the afterlife, and a vengeful god that destroys the temple and everybody in it as revenge for Nikiya's murder. It was first performed on February 4, 1877, by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was hailed as a success and masterpiece immediately after the premiere, particularly The Kingdom of the Shades scene in Act II, an excerpt which remains a major standalone work for the ballet repertoire. Modern performances of La Bayadère are almost always derived from a 1941 version sated for the Kirov\/Mariinsky Ballet by Vladimir Ponomarev and Vakhtang Chabukiani, which incorporates additional music by Minkus, Drigo, and Pugni. Act II takes place after Nikiya is killed by a concealed venomous snake. A depressed Solor smokes opium, resulting in a vision of Nikiya's spirit dwelling in the Kingdom of the Shades, a nirvana in the Himalayas. The two lovers reconcile among the shades of other bayadères in a Pas de deux, then Solor is awakened just in time for his arranged marriage to another woman. This orchestration of Act II has been completed by William McDermott.

Premiered by the Ballet of the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris, France on January 23 1856, the original music was entirely by Adolphe Adam.

Inspired by the French composer Delibes, he thought to create a concert suite of the music. No further correspondence on the idea exists, but a Swan Lake Suite, Op. 20a was published seven years after Tchaikovsky’s death in 1900, containing six numbers from the ballet, though it remains uncertain whether they were selected by the composer or someone else, leaving the exact authorship of the suite unknown.
