@bwoodsfinest Yes, but if you look at various pictures of ballet through history, you will notice that men didn't always wear just tights. They wore pants on top. Apparently, Nijinsky was dismissed from the Mariinsky because he wore tights and no pants during a performance of Giselle (coming from wikipedia, so I'm not too sure of the credibility).
The first three chords and then the last three chords, then up the scale. Unbelievable how such simplicity can sound so beautiful.
The most beautiful four minutes in all of music, in my opinion.
they danced in such a loving fashion... the emotion was very very clear. Fantasic
Absolutely incredible that such beauty comes from a human mind, especially a mind as troubled as Tchaikovsky's was.
It's often the most troubled minds that make the most beautiful things.
My favorite part is when the music swells and they do that spectacular fish dive.
They certainly perform exquisitely together! Those lifts were beautiful!
its so beautiful =) its my favorite part of the ballet
chaoscast Mine too and everything that follows
Same.
No one surpasses Tchaikovsky when it comes to love themes.
Even though it's winter, there are loads of nuts around, but seriously folks this is so beautiful
I added this piece from The Nutcracker to a playlist I made for winter which is called “Winter melodies” which only appears on Spotify.
Does it still exist?
so what?
Achingly beautiful.
I just love this
I think he's got a coconut down there
That was perfect!
She looks a lot like Elan Alekzander of Anaheim Ballet.

Any similarity between facts and answers on Wiki are purely coincidental.
Well, it's not called 'The Nutcracker' for nothin'.
Tchaikovsky Russia top composer. Patrick
That's just the way ballet is now. :D They wear tights. It's a bit strange to watch, though...
And it looks amazing
what do you mean now??? men have been wearing tightsin ballet for decades...centuries even...
I agree,just mean that you can't accept everything on wiki at face value, they have been known to get things wrong
