Tsiskaridze & Zakharova - Scheherazade (Excerpts)

Follow me on Facebook: Follow me on Instagram: Nikolai Tsiskaridze as the Golden Slave & Svetlana Zakharova as Zobeide in excerpts of Mikhail Fokine's Scheherazade (or Sheherazade) to the music of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Brief synopsis: Shahryar, King of India and China, is angry because his brother Shakhezman has suggested that his wives are unfaithful to him. It turns out to be true, when they return unexpectedly from a hunting trip. All are killed, including the Golden Slave. Zobeide remains, but she takes her own life rather than live with dishonor.
