Rating: 5.0
Outstanding, melodic, enjoyable ballet
I've been a fan of this ballet for years, ever since seeing it on A&E; channel about 15 years ago. For a long time, it has been available only on VHS or LaserDisc. Finally, it is availble on DVD. The video quality is not perfect, because it is just a copy of the 1988 tape, but it is good enough ... just dont expect HD quality.The music is tuneful, fun, foot-tapping. The ballet is not too long (44 minutes?). The costumes are fantastic. The dancing is great, the environmental message is understated.Simply stated, this is one of the best dance pieces ever created, and it deserves wider attention.
