How much better can it be than at the Bolshoi ...
A wonderful example of Russian Ballet. The film is a little dark and the technology of the time does not treat the solid red costume well. It does however leave the viewer with a feeling that they attended the performance at it's home theater. Even the Russian applause that to some western ears sounds a little like the "slow hand clap" just adds to the sense of being in Tchaikovsky's home land.
It is interesting to see that the curtains show the now defunct CCCP and hammer and sickle motif woven into the fabric.
The data base shows Yelena Macheret as the director but maybe it is more important to note that it was Yuri Grigorovich who was the Director and Choreographer.
