5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic production of a classic ballet, 23 Sep 2000
This video was recorded in 1985 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. As well as featuing Anthony Dowell and Lesley Collier, roles are taken by dancers such as Jonathan Cope, Bruce Sansom, and Viviana Durante. This provides a wonderful opportunity to view the stars of today when they were less experienced. The standard of dancing is brilliant. The Royal Ballet are, of course, a world renowned company, and through this video one can understand why. Dowell and Collier's performances are absolutely stunning, and a special mention must go to Cope for his excellent rendering of the parts of the Mouse King and the lead male in the Arabian Dance. The decor of this production is lavishly, elegantly beautiful. The ballet is filmed well with plenty of close-ups in addition to shots that allow one to note the patterns on stage. All in all, a super video that should be bought imediately. The Nutcracker is one of the great classics, an exquisite stitch in the rich tapestry of the heratige of a dancer. It is key ballet, a must for building up a good video collection.

Enjoy!
