{"product_id":"tchaikovsky-swan-lake-the-nutcracker-the-sleeping-beaut","title":"TCHAIKOVSKY: Swan Lake \/ The Nutcracker \/ The Sleeping Beaut","description":"Bringing together all of Tchaikovsky's ballets in an attractive box set, this four DVD collection includes Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and The Sleeping Beauty. Here performed by the Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm, Swan Lake is one of the most popular ballets in the world. Choreographer Sir Peter Wright has set this production as a romantic Gothic tragedy, with sumptuous costumes and sets honouring the 1895 Petipa\/Ivanov original. Tchaikovsky's unforgettable score for The Nutcracker combines magical choreography with an atmosphere of fantasy and the supernatural. Hoffman's Christmas story unfolds with breathtaking splendour in this truly spectacular Royal Ballet production from London's Covent Garden. The Sleeping Beauty is acknowledged as the most pure and demanding piece in the classic romantic repertoire. Here performed by The Dutch National Ballet, and choreographed by Sir Peter Wright, the Baroque sets and costumes add glamour and grandeur to the sparkling virtuosity of the work. The staging sensitively reflects the original work of Marius Petipa - regarded as the most influential choreographer ever.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky \u003cbr\u003e  THE BALLETS\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Nutcracker\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Anthony Dowell • Alina Cojocaru • Ivan Putrov • Miyako Yoshida \u003cbr\u003e  The Royal Ballet \u003cbr\u003e  The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House \u003cbr\u003e  Evgenii Svetlanov, conductor \u003cbr\u003e  Sir Peter Wright, choreography, after Lev Ivanov \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Special Features: \u003cbr\u003e  - The Transformation Revealed – Behind-the-scenes secrets of the spectacular Christmas tree scene \u003cbr\u003e  - Interview with producer Sir Peter Wright and Sir Anthony Dowell\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Swan Lake\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Nathalie Nordquist • Anders Nordström • Marketta Kaila • Christian Rambe \u003cbr\u003e  The Royal Swedish Ballet \u003cbr\u003e  The Royal Swedish Opera Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e  Michel Quéval, conductor\u003cbr\u003e  Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov, Sir Peter Wright, choreography \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded at the Royal Swedish Opera House, 24 May 2002\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Special Features: \u003cbr\u003e  - Interview with the principal dancers, the choreographer, the director of the Royal Swedish Ballet \u003cbr\u003e  - Overview of all the historic productions of Swan Lake from 1877\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Sleeping Beauty\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Sofiane Sylve • Gaël Lambiotte • Sarah Fontaine • Enrichetta Cavallotti \u003cbr\u003e  The Dutch National Ballet (Het Nationale Ballet) \u003cbr\u003e  Holland Symfonia \u003cbr\u003e  Ermanno Florio, conductor \u003cbr\u003e  Marius Petipa, Sir Peter Wright, choreography \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded live at the Het Muziektheater Amsterdam, 2003\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Special Features: \u003cbr\u003e  - Interview with Sir Peter Wright \u003cbr\u003e  - 'I Got Stuck' – A Portrait of Sofiane Sylve \u003cbr\u003e  - 'We All Love Magic' – A featurette about fairy tales\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Sound Format: Dolby Stereo \/ 5.1 Surround (Nutcracker, Swan Lake)\u003cbr\u003e  DTS Stereo \/ 5.1 Surround (Sleeping Beauty) \u003cbr\u003e  Picture Format: NTSC 16:9 anamorphic \u003cbr\u003e  Menu Language: English \u003cbr\u003e  Subtitle Languages: French, German (Nutcracker) \u003cbr\u003e  French, German, Spanish (Swan Lake) \u003cbr\u003e  English, French, German, Spanish (Sleeping Beauty) \u003cbr\u003e  Running Time: 7 hours 53 mins \u003cbr\u003e  No. of DVDs: 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49608091861272,"sku":"809478009849","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1206689.jpg?v=1736521231","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/tchaikovsky-swan-lake-the-nutcracker-the-sleeping-beaut","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
