Hijacked ballet vis a vis radical science
Added 2/13/2010
This is not a ballet. This a production drawer. In another words, you are "reading" cole slaw. Save your money.

Christmas Tradition
Added 2/3/2010
Having seen the live production in SF almost 20 years ago, and wanting every year to see it again, we found this DVD and watched it in the comfort of our own home. Not quite the same but a lovely experience. Music and ballet wonderful. One personal note for impressionable younger viewers: the role of Uncle Drosselmeyer is conceived as a threatening, morbid character and detracts from the magic of the ballet and story.

Excellent production
Added 2/3/2010
I have really enjoyed this production of The Nutcracker. The choreography is absolutely beautiful. I am a music teacher, and I have showed it to my students, who have also really enjoyed it. It's a good length for them--about 90 minutes. I definitely recommend this version.

The DVD of The Nutcracker Ballet by Tchaikovsky
Added 2/1/2010
If you love ballet, you will love the Nutcracker Ballet as performed by San Francisco Ballet. Of course, the music is superb, written well and recorded well. The dancers are totally professional, and the DVD is so enjoyable that our family watches it over and over. It is certainly a holiday favorite, but can be enjoyed any time of the year because it is so delightful.

Beautifully done.
Added 1/7/2010
This version blew me away with the seamless scene/stage changes for the first act. The 1915 storyline was a fresh approach. The snowstorm at the end of the first act was unbelievable.
If anyone has not had the opportunity to buy this, I suggest that one does so immediately. A visually enchanting performance to match the music.
