It has been my dream to see the Nutcracker at the Houston Ballet! That dream will come true this weekend for my birthday. I can't wait!

Excellent little svans!!

[mextliit]

why aren't they on pointe?? or rather falling back off the inner edge of their shoes??????

jbostis, you are wrong in expecting the Dying Swan solo to be in Swan Lake. Dying Swan is part of a whole other ballet called the Carnival of Animals. It has, and never will be a part of Swan Lake.

Since seeing HB's Swan Lake on the 6/13/09, I keep replaying it in my head. It is so great to have this video to actually again see a high point!

What's with the end of this dance? I saw the ballet today and the end of 4 swan's dance was different from the classic

Costumes were great, great stage, however I didn't like the dragon and robot-like looking friends of Rothbart- too much of computer games?! Actually the whole ballet is far from the original classic ballet. Looks more like Rnaissance Fest... A lot of special effects, and less ballet...where is dying swan dance? where is the classical scenes?..

Hey Houston Ballet!

I saw this production of Swan Lake a couple of years ago, and it really blew me away! Unfortunately, I had nosebleed seats, so I was missing half of the gorgeous sets and some of the choreography. Do you sell DVDs of your productions???

[houstonballet]

Unfortunately we don't sell DVDs. We'll perform Swan Lake June 11-21, 2009, and great seats on the floor level start at $50!

[funnyhoneybee]

Excellent, thank you! I'll plan ahead.
