The Washington Post's review of the ballet is up. You can read it here. The Post requires registration, but it's free. There are a couple of nice photos there (above and below, here, plus, I think there was another one).
Above is Grigory Popov as the Golden Idol in act 2. This picture was taken during the dress rehearsal, so you can't see the gold body paint he wears during the performances. Below are Uliana Lopatkina as Nikiya (the bayadère) and Ivan Kozlov as Prince Solor in act 3 (in acts 1 and 2, she's in a gauzy, burgundy temple dancer costume). They danced the dress rehearsal and then they danced last night's performance (the three principal dancers change every performance).
Speaking of which, last night went well. Another full house. I'm feeling very weary this morning, though. Five more performances to go.
