For anyone who loves classical ballet and wants to see fresh approach -- this one is for you. I own two other versions of "La Bayadere"( which means the temple dancer), but this one is the best. Nadezhda Gracheva, the principal dancer, is superb. She is the past and the present of Russian ballet combined into one. Her technique is impeccable, her flexibility and athleticism are taken to the max, but underneath it all it's the Russian ballet training that shows through. The stage design, the costumes, the choreography - the whole production, including every dancer involved in it are perfect. This video makes a wonderful gift or an investment for anyone who appreciates ballet art. The only flaw that it doesn't list all of the principal dancers except for Nadezhda Gracheva as Nikia and Vetrov as Solor.
