This is the BEST and ONLY Nutcracker in my opinion. It is so romantic! This version is best because the young girl dreams of being a Princess and dancing with the Nutcracker Prince. She doesn't just sit and watch some other older female dance with him.
This Nutcracker when it was shown on PBS was my first exposure to this ballet. In my most humble opinion, there is not one better! I've been to numerous performances and I measure each one by this version. It's unfair but Misha and Gelsey are astounding! Merry Christmas to all!
I b/ watching, this awesome! NutCracker 4 several yrs ! Since my, sons, were babies ! & This NUTCRACKER is my favorite 1 !🎄🎀🎁🎁🎗🎉❄❄☃⛄🤩! Merry Christmas & a Wonderful New yr 2 ! Tysm 4 this upload, of a awesome NUTCRACKER! 🥰👌!💥💫👍👌!
11:32, 13:12 great touch - they match and dance together. She’s always wearing pink and is blonde in other versions. 15:53, 24:42 They are distinguished mice, 25:54, 27:09 Here he is! , 28:47, 31:44 The great Baryshnikov!
This is a great version for children - but today I prefer different productions. The source material - ETA Hofmann's story "The Nutcracker And The Mouse King" wasn't written for children. Like many of Hofmann's stories, it’s a very dark and sinister tale, and Uncle Drosselmeier is the villain! Today I prefer Nutcracker productions which acknowledge the source material.
@simbahunter8894 no she isn't but certainly had her issues. Broken hearts sometimes never mend. What I wouldn't give to be her dancing in this masterpiece
This is a timeless classic!
Eyo Merry Christmas
This is best one I appreciate for many reasons - costume design, dancing, choreo, and most of all the artistry and acting! Superb musicians as well
One of my favorite Christmas memories - watching this every year with my Mom! ❤❤
I’ve watched this every year since I was 9 years old in 1980. No one else can touch Baryshnikov as the Nutcracker Prince.
I watched this when it first came out. It is brilliant! Best version ever. I will always love it.
This is the BEST and ONLY Nutcracker in my opinion. It is so romantic! This version is best because the young girl dreams of being a Princess and dancing with the Nutcracker Prince. She doesn't just sit and watch some other older female dance with him.
indeed! Glad you liked it and enjoyed that beautiful masterpiece!🙏🩰❤️
I have this on DVD. Its a holiday tradition. Its dreamy perfection. I was lucky to see it live at Lincoln center. I was moved to tears.

I saw them dance this at Lincoln Center when I was a child back in the 1970s.
My childhood every Christmas was spent watching this, and when I started toe classes, Gelsey was my inspiration.
Thank you for posting this.
My all-time fave! It's always on replay at Christmas. 😊
Same here! 👍❤️🩰🙏
I was 12 when this came out.
I remember it.

@@retrotheatretv , you are wrelcome 😀 l am German, and I love ETA Hoffmann. His stories are really dark stuff.
I can’t believe her demise
Good thing, because she's not dead.
I voraciously read Dancing on My Grave as a teenager. What a story!

@@DrSimpleBeautyI got that book from Amazon but haven't read it yet
