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.

The Bolshoi's La Bayadere is now one of my favorite ballets! The principle dancer (Nadia ? ) who dances Nikkia is amazing, tall, strong, and very beautiful. She (too me) is an all time great ballerina who performs an all around great ballet!

I have been dancing for five years, and haven't seen any real professional ballet dancers dance. I have bought this tape and American Ballet Theatre's Le Corsaire to see which ballet company is the best. I have to say that the Bolshoi Ballet exceed's ABT by so much! The male dancers are strong and powerful, the female dancers light and graceful. The Bolshoi Ballet's dancers cannot even be compared to those of ABT! I look forward to their upcoming performances. Please by this tape and enjoy the wonderful performance of the Bolshoi!

The Bolshoi's La Bayadere was one of my favorite ballets ever! The principle dancer was so amazing, tall, strong, and beautiful. I could have watched her forever! It was an all around great ballet and was performed by an all time great ballerina! ( I think )
