  • 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?

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

  • anyone else notice that he posted this on 9/11?

  • The Godfather MADE this Ballet. Seriously. I wish i could make millions dancin like that : D Thatd be the life.

  • I always wanted to be the dolls just after the 5:00 mark.

  • 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.

  • @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!!!
