Ohhh the little harlequin costumes are so cute!!!! I love these dancers!!!

I am so obsessed with the beautiful musical piece before and after Drosselmeyer does his little pre-present dance.

Definitely the best Nutcracker.

This is my favorite version as well! Hooray for those with good taste!

This has always been, and always will be, my favorite version of The Nutcracker. Nothing too avant-garde, a stunning set, musical perfection, and danced exquisitely by the masters at the Bolshoi Ballet.

Been trying to find the complete set of this particular version. I grew up on it and prefer it to all others, except our vhs recording finally burnt out a couple years back. Can you direct me where to find THIS on dvd?

[MissPirypiry]

@Musemistress I totally agree with you: no Nutcracker I've watched after this is as beautiful as this one!!!

[TheBolshoi97]

@Musemistress Find on Amazon!! There are many ballet DVDs, included this.

[Musemistress]

@TheBolshoi97 Is there a specific title? I tend to come across ones LIKE it but I want to make sure it's the right one. ;)

Am picky like that

@Musemistress Same! I grew up watching this version, and it is by far the BEST!!!
