5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating documentary about the Vaganova Ballet Academy, 9 Sep 2006
By KazM (London) - See all my reviews
This is a very interesting DVD. I first watched the original documentary film on the TV and recorded it on the video in the 1980s. But, the picture had deteriorated. Luckily, I recently found this DVD version.

The Vaganova Ballet Academy was originally founded 268 years ago in 1738 at the Imperial Court in St. Petersburg. It had various other names such as Imperial Ballet School and Leningrad Choreographic School during its illustrious history. In this film which was made during the late Soviet era, the school is called the Kirov School.

The title of the film (".... Theatre Street") comes from the fact that the street where the school is located - Architect Rossi Street - used to be called Theatre Street until 1923 because of the famous drama theatre called Alexandrinsky Theatre located at the northern end of it.

The Vaganova Ballet Academy has been a principal training school for the renowned Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet, where Vaclav Nijinsky, Anna Pavlova, Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova, to name but a few, learned to dance. It also produced some great choreographers such as Fokine and Balanchine.

The film shows the daily training and life of young students at the school. It is most interesting to learn about their total commitment to success, although, of course, not all of them will succeed. It shows a salutary dedication to ballet of selected young people in a country (former Soviet Union) where it is considered to be a form of high art rather than mere entertainment.

The narration is lovingly done by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (Grace Kelly). Lovers of the noble art of Russian ballet should not hesitate.

Incidentally, the region code for this DVD is 0 (All), and not 1 (US and Canada) mentioned by Amazon.
