 TerribleJul 14, 2008
This DVD is a joke. It's so dark that most of the time you can't really see the dancers. In "Le Petit Pan", you see vague shapes moving around, nothing more, then at the end the face of a man eating. In others some people in tights are stretching and walking around. It picks up a little in the last ballet "The White Swan" of Swan Lake; unfortunately the cameraman who must be as bored as I am focuses on the gloomy and tormented faces of the dancers and stays there.
The only good part is the two minutes bonus of the Black Swan of Swan Lake.
