Exceptionally Beautiful

Just wonderful and Baryshnikov is still number one all these years. Children still love the story as well as us big kids.

for anyone who enjoys ballet...

I'd taken my daughter to the Royal Dutch Ballet Christmas production of the Nutcracker yearly while we lived overseas and she developed a passion for the ballet as a result - this was the perfect Xmas gift! Gelsey Kirkland is stunning and, of course, Baryshnikov is the quintessential dancer - this is really the ultimate version.

Great Ballet Video!

I remember watching this on PBS when I was young. My 5 year old daughter is taking ballet and I thought she would like to watch this video. Well it turns out she loves it and requests to watch it! I will have to say I'm VERY surprised that she really enjoys it. The story & dancing is really outstanding. Glad I purchased this!

GORGEOUS!

Everytime I see this movie I feel like I a kid again. I watch it every Christmas and the magic of the dancers and music take me back to simpler times. Baryshnikov and Kirkland are magical together and the choreography is amazing. Such a magical movie that should be watched by any and all regardless of whether you appreciate dance.

HOLIDAY FARE FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

Under Tony Charmoli's customarily fine direction,with Baryshnikov's early choreographing, his and Kirkland's first rate dancing, a sparkling dance ensemble, beautiful sets and color still undiminished, and a masterful score, was created a delightful film whose charm is irresistible. Without need to compare how this one stands up against other available DVD performances, I feel confident in recommending it to all age groups, for its consistent high style and its two stars, who glitter brightly among the other jewels. Watch it for the holidays, and in between holidays to provide some holiday cheer.

The Nutcracker marked the initial choreographic effort of Baryshnikov, universally hailed as one of the world?s greatest dancers. Under Baryshnikov?s inventive direction, the traditionally lighthearted story of a small girl?s dream on Christmas Eve is transformed into a more complex theatrical experience. Broadcast regularly on PBS, this American Ballet Theatre performance (directed in the studio by Tony Charmoli) stars Gelsey Kirkland as Clara and Mikhail Baryshnikov at the peak of his artistic ability as the Prince/Nutcracker.
