I've watched seven full-act performances of the Sleeping Beauty (3 Kirovs, Bolshoi, Royal, Paris Opera, Het), and I think this Kirov's 1964 production is one of the best in terms of the classical beauty and purity. This is a film version, not a recording of a stage performance, so the set design and special effects impossible on the stage could be realized to enhance the charm of the production. Also, this film is a shortened version that lasts for about one and a half hours, with a few sequences removed and rearranged. The two stars featured here are Alla Sizova as the princess Aurora and Yuri Solovyov as the prince Desire. Sizova was known to be the best Aurora in the world in 1960s. She was Rudolf Nureyev's favorite partner, and it is said that she's the one that could've made Nureyev want to go back to Soviet Union. She was a greatly talented ballerina, and as you can see, she was really pretty, lively, elegant and beautiful. Her smlie especially is radiant. Solovyov was an outstanding, noble dancer, an ideal partner for her. You can also see Natalia Dudinskaya, one of Vaganova's distinguished pupils, as the wicked fairy Carabosse (dancing en pointe) and Natalia Makarova as the princess Florina before she defected to the West. The Kirov's corps de ballet was, as always, graceful and in a perfect fashion. I recommend all who admire great Russian ballets should watch this film. However, I suggest you should not buy this Kultur-manufactured DVD. The reason is as follows. The original screen ratio was in cinemascope, about 2.35:1, but Kultur has cut the left and right sides of the picture to make it look large on the ordinary 4:3 TV screen, so the dancers in this DVD are sometimes out of the screen. Also, the sound pitch recorded in this DVD is a little bit higher than normal, about a semi-tone higher, and the lower-pitched sound such as played by cellos or doublebasses is hard to hear. As a result, the music sounds harsh and in a haste. In fact, Boris Khaikin and Yuri Gamalei, the conductors in this film, played elegantly and beautifully, but you cannot feel that in this DVD. There are some noises on the screen, too. Although I am pleased that Kultur has issued a lot of Kirov's and Bolshoi's ballet performances in DVD format, it would be much better if they had made them in good quality. I cannot help but think Kultur has damaged the artistic quaity of those videos by distorting them and ignoring the technical aspects. This film deserves 5 stars, but as for the DVD made by Kultur, I'll give 3 stars. A Japanese company called IVC, which stands for International Visual Corporation, has also issued this same film on DVD with region code 2. In contrast to Kultur, IVC did a truly great job. The picture ratio is the same as originally filmed, in cinemascope, not cut at the sides, and the picture quality is very clear, much better than that of Kultur's, so you can enjoy the beautiful dancing and scenery to the fullest. Also, the sound pitch is just correct, with balanced sound. I'd say watching this film in Kultur's DVD and in IVC's DVD was a totally different experience to me. You can buy one at Japanese internet shopping sites unless Amazon.com is going to sell the IVC DVDs. I'm not a Japanese, but no true ballet fans would hesitate to think highly of IVC's devoted efforts to make good-quality DVDs that the great ballet films deserve to be shown in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rare Opportunity to see the Immortal Soloviev *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on September 10, 2008* Yuri Soloviev was one of the greatest male dancers of the 20th century. Searching for footage of his legendary art is like hunting for a needle in a haystack. However, a number of fuzzy clips of his mastery can be viewed on YouTube.A premier danseur of the Kirov, he was a contemporary of Nureyev and Baryshnikov, and thought by many to be the superior dancer. His elevation was mind boggling - to such a degree that he was nicknamed Cosmic Yuri. His genius lay not only in his phenomenal jumps, but also in the softness, clarity, beauty and modesty of his technique, which was coupled with sensitive and deeply moving dramatic gifts.While he was unhappy in the stifling conditions of Brezhnev's regime, he refused to defect. He apparently committed suicide in 1977. As a consequence of his shocking and unexpected death and Nureyev's and Baryshnikov's defection, a devastating and deep vacuum was left in Soviet dance that never really was filled.The exquisite Alla Sizova was a perfect partner for him. Carabosse is danced by the electric Dudinskaya - a detail which I personally find far preferable to an aging male mime in drag. Makarova appears as Florina, along with, I think, Valery Panov, another great but hard-to-find dancer. This Sleeping Beauty has some of the most brilliant dancing I've ever seen. The fact that it's even available is a miracle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enjoyable *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on February 14, 2013* I can't quite say why I'm not raving about this version of Sleeping Beauty. Perhaps I just have too many others in my head.The dancers are, for the most part, excellent. The scenery is beautiful. The White Cat/Puss'n'Boots has been done better in other versions. Red Riding Hood and the Three Ivans were substandard compared to other companies. However, the Bluebird variation and the Pas de Trois were excellent.It's a good evening's entertainment, but not at the top of my list of presentations of this ballet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/38300480-sleeping-beauty-christine-walsh-australian-ballet](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/38300480-sleeping-beauty-christine-walsh-australian-ballet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
