Some of Russia's best..
In this trilogy of well known ballet pieces some of Russia's best ballet dancers perform in regal and elegant fashion.I would recommend this trilogy to any avid ballet fan and to dancer's who wish to watch Bolshoi Ballet execute their technique at their highest level of performance. It is interesting to note the stylistic differences in all 3 of the productions when compared to American Ballet performances. The end summation Bolshoi Ballet entertains and delivers with both their stage apititude and overall execution of 3 well loved and infamous ballet classics.
