Those of you in Europe & Australia who love ballet & love seeing films in the theatre: keep your eyes & ears open for New York City Ballet's Nutcracker opening this month. (The times/places aren't listed yet.) It showed live in the States last evening. Here's the good review in today's New York Times. I'm thinking of popping up to a cinema in my neighborhood to see the Bolshoi's Nutcracker. I think the ballet-in-cinema is a positive development. While many of us have access to live ballet performance, many do not (or we just cannot afford the live ticket prices right now).

Ooh, I hope it's in my local cinema, thanks Susan for the tip. I love ballet and there's nothing quite like a Christmas one.
Thanks, too! I had no idea about the Bolshoi at AFI. I'll tell friends about NYB's Nutcracker, too. It is a really good idea, yes.
roger that! Merry Christmas! ho ho ho!
I love the ballet. And the Nutcracker is a must see in our home every holiday.
Angie - do you rent a version for in the house or do you go every year to the ballet? I used to see many performances of ballet every year here (& in NYC) but cannot keep up with the ticket prices the last few years. Whatever you see, I'm sure it's lovely.
As a side note (& to others who visit here): Do you remember The Turning Point? It's available on Netflix Instant...I had not seen in many, many years. It's still a wonderful film.
Cheers.
