Sergei Polunin & Natalia Osipova THE NUTCRACKER (Full Ballet)

“The Nutcracker“ with Sergei Polunin (Сергей Полунин) and Natalia Osipova. Performed on December 31, 2015 at The Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre.

SHORTCUTS:
Prelude ends/curtain rises at 4:09
Sergei Polunin (the Nutcracker) and Natalia Osipova (Clara) enter at 31:00

This appears to be nearly the complete ballet. However, this is NOT a professional recording. There is a considerable amount of camera shakiness and poor lighting in many parts of this production. (The lighting at times washes out the entire stage performance. And the camera angle is sometimes extremely crooked.) However, since I have not seen this performance available on YouTube, I am sharing it for those who may enjoy the video, despite its flaws. I spent several hours trying to improve the video, but I was unable to fix it to my satisfaction, so instead, I am simply uploading the original video "AS-IS". All edits are from the original poster. I have not edited this video in any way.

Красота, погружающая в мир ввозвышающих дух, чувств. Фантастически танцующие Наталья и Сергей. Это лучшие из лучших звёзд балета. Она нежна, страстна воздушна. Он Атлет с лицом Создателя. Обажаю.

I enjoyed watching the entire show. Both Polunin and Osipova produced an electrifying performance - - absolutely ❗ Of course - - the corps de ballet - - danced beautifully. I specifically love it - - when the male dancers lift the female dancers - - with the men's arms raised at mid-chest level @ 54:02 - - and the female dancers' grand jeté and jeté en tournant - - movements @ 54:47 are superbly executed. And the men's glissades and entrechat quatre @ 55:06 are truly impressive - - too ❗ Thank you @ India Ink - - and a Happy Christmas to you ❗ And - - a Happy Christmas to all❗

I love how they found a younger girl who looks like Osipova to play young Masha/Marie.

Polunin is very noble in the shadow act.

Thank you ever much!

Whose choreography is it?

Hi! I noticed that Natalia Osipova's Don Quixote and Coppelia has been taken down. I am a huge fan of ballet and Natalia Osipova and I was wondering where am I able to buy the dvd's for both performances. Thank you so so much!
