| Alina Cojocaru gives an outstanding performance. She dances with such grace and beauty that it is hard to imagine anyone else in this role. She alone would makes this a DVD worth owning. But of course there is much more to praise in this performance. I very much liked the sets but they seem to overly stretch the capacity of the stage. Marianela Nunez is very fine as Myrtha. My one complaint is the camera work at the end of Act 1 - R.Nicholson covers it well. I am very pleased with this Giselle and ... Read More: |

| I agree with some of the assesments made by reviewer Ivy Lin, above, however, I disagree with others. This production of the beloved Christmas classic by the Royal Ballet does indeed incline more to the older Russian than the later Balanchine interpretation, which is more familiar to American audiences. I happen to prefer the former. I also agree with Ms. Lin that the dancing of Alina Cojocaru is one of the chief pleasures of this very traditional and pleasing production, which is everything a Nutcracker ... Read More: |

| I thought a lot before I bought this production. I actually saw it live at the Kennedy Center during the summer before this was recorded and I was so disappointed. I had waited so long to see the Royal Ballet perform Sleeping Beauty live.
I ought to say here I'm one of probably a few who actually like the Anthony Dowell 1993 production. I think Viviana Durante was amazing and Dowell himself as Carabosse gave the performance of the ages. I wasn't that nuts about the scenery but thought the costumes (especially ... Read More: |

| There's so little of the great Jonathan Cope available on DVD or VHS that it's a joy to have him as the prince in the Nutcracker. Add Anthony Dowell as a superbly magical Drosselmeyer, a spectacular transformation scene, Yoshida as the sugar plum fairy, fine dancing all round, & you have a Nutcracker to go back to again and again. |

| This is the Best Nutcracker Ballet Perfomance I have seen on DVD so Far.The Sound and Picture Quality is Great and the Stage has been Decorated Very Well for Certain Scenes and it looks Very beautiful.The Other Good thing is that the DVD Maker tells you the Brief Story of "The Nutcracker" step by step during the Movie which is missing from other Nutcracker dvd perfomances so basically if you do not know nothing what is "The Nutcraker" then you will get a little idea about what it is to enjoy the entire movie.All the Performers acted ...
