Great Story, Great Soundtrack, Great Movie!
My children and my husband and I love this movie. The story is a version of Swan Lake. The characters and music are lovable and cute. The movie has a great message and is appropriate for all ages. We watch it over and over again as a family!

Good Reality Show
When this show came out, my husband and I watched it every week. It had amazing transformations each week, and the women seemed genuinely happy. I thought it was a good show in the fact that women who had a lot of adversity, both physical and mental, had a chance to start over.

5 stars : margot/rudolf 's swan lake !!!!
i hv own this swan lake dvd for three yrs, but never thought about writing a review until now, why? after i bought the dvd ( margot/rudof ), and watching it almost a dozen times either by myself or introduce it to a female friend, it ALWAYS made me cry at the end of act IV, never fail. so,last week, i spent 40,000 of my precious united award miles, flew almost 12 hrs ( two stops, delayed 2 and ...

Surprisingly wonderful!
Nonna (grandmother) bought this video on impulse because it was on sale and she wanted to give my 3 year old something more to unwrap for Christmas. I thought I was going to die when I saw "Barbie". How annoying would this be? But to my pleasant surprise, it is actually very good! Not only is the story fairly representative of the real Swan Lake ballet, but because it is uses the same musical ...

A world-class performance!
To date this Blu-ray performance of Tchaikowsky's Swan Lake is the best I have seen! Rudolf Nureyev's professional direction is an art to behold. The dancers' choreography is balanced and symetrical as well as easily understandable. Also, if desired, infrequent English subtitles help clarify the story line. Absolutely enchanting!

Classic Movie
I was so happy to receive this video and share it with my uncle of 90 years. We both love the old classics and I was so suprised to see this was one Tyrone Power movie he hadn't seen! Seemed to me he's see them all! LOL So many movies are hard to find and I want to thank Amazon.com for helping to find these older movies. You've made both of us very happy and your service is the best!! Keep up ...

A perfect gift for your little ballerina!
My 3 1/2 year old daughter LOVES this Prima Princessa DVD. What a perfect way to introduce your little girl to real ballet permances from the Paris Opera Ballet with age appropriate narration. In between the performances (which are shortened for their little attention spans) she loves watching little girls just like her, dancing and having a grande time. She loves to dance along with this DVD - ...

Perfection.
I could care less if others write less than stellar reviews for this DVD, as it is one of the top ten I own, and I'm not even a ballet fan normally. Worth every penny, and beautiful to boot.

Swan Lake Experience
I saw the live version of this production in Brisbane (April 2007) and it was truly magical and amazing. I did notice a couple of changes since the filming of the DVD. I love that Matthew Bourne's male swans portray the strength and well-known aggression of real life swans (not always easy to watch) and thoroughly enjoyed the DVD performances. It is good to have the traditional version of Swan ...

Outstanding Swan Lake! And A Sad Swan Song.
This is a wonderful, classical version of Swan Lake. It has all the elements and parts I want to see in this ballet: most of the dance segments and artistic excellence and balance. Right from the beginning we can tell this is going to be a great, energetic ballet as Prince Siegfried comes onto the stage in the very beginning and joins his tutor and jester in a lively pas de trois. it is ...

The Dazzling Plisetskaya
Historic performances must be evaluated utilizing entirely different criteria from those applied to contemporary works. To judge a recorded performance from the past using modern audio-visual standards is to entirely miss the point of historic art preservation. Even precious snippets of performances, however poor the quality, enable us to time travel back to an earlier era in which artistic ...

Any Point of View Would Do
Valery Gergiev conducts Swan Lake for the forces of the Kirov, now once again called the Mariinsky Ballet. A new generation of talented dancers carries on the great tradition of the house, recorded in high resolution video and audio. During the overture we are treated to closeups of the instrumentalists who will accompany the onstage action. It is great to see them for once. When the famous ...

Best out of 3
This is the best movie out of all 3. When it was on t.v and I found out it was one three times I watch it all three times not missing a single part. And I love the songs they're the best.But I would have to say the one Derek sings Because I Love Her, is the best out of them all. My favorite part was when Derek and Rogers were agruing.

Lopatkina is true Swan Queen
Uliana Lopatkina was one of the last proteges of legendary Kirov ballerina (and, later, pedagogue) Natalia Dudinskaya. Lopatkina is so loyal to the memory of her teacher that she refuses to dance in the "new-old" reconstructions of Sleeping Beauty and La Bayadere, as she considers the reconstructions a betrayal of Dudinskaya's husband, Konstantin Sergeyev, whose stagings of Swan Lake, the ...

Still the definitive "Swan Lake" - on video
I have watched many live and video performances of this ballet and this is the one version I find myself returning to time and time again. There is something so dramatically compelling about the way Makarova and Dowell interpret their roles that my attention is held in a way that perhaps more technically proficient renderings of the roles could not. Makarova and Dowell in the leads are ...

A common man's point of view.
This is one of my favorite Swan Lakes. Yulia Makhalina is one of the most beautiful ballerinas I have ever seen. She is also as technically accomplished as any ballerina I've seen. Now, I do not know anything at all about the techniques of ballet, but I do know beauty when I see it. Partnered with Yulia is Igor Zelensky, a very strong and magnetic male dancer. In the first act, one of the female ...

Good for Children
I think this was a very cute movie. My granddaughter read the book 6 months ago and loved it. She just tuned 9 this month and I gave her the movie. She loved it just as much as the book. I was not looking for a great movie but was very happy with it. It was fun for my granddaughter to tell me the parts that were not just like the book. I was able to explain to her that most of the time, ...

Fantastic Performance
This is the most phenominal performance of Swan Lake I have ever seen. Svetlana Zakharova has everything required of a great prima ballarina. Her fluid arm movment, incredible extension, limber form are all wedded to the most expressive performance of Odille I know. The pas de deux in act 2 is langorously performed. Miss Zakharova tantilizes the audience with exquisitely lyrical movement all in ...

An Outstanding Traditional Swan Lake!
What makes a Swan Lake traditional? Some might say it should follow the Petipa/Ivanov model, but they did not really honor Tchaikovsky's intentions and even used some music not written by him! He was so furious that he divorced himself from the project. To be called "traditional" A Swan Lake really needs to borrow from Petipa/Ivanov but also needs to keep Tchaikovsky's intentions alive as ...
