About this item
Product Description
Based on Gogol's fantastical and comic story of the Devil's antics on Christmas Eve, this magical blend of opera and ballet is brought to vivid life in Francesca Zambello's colourful production. Magnificent set designs (Mikhail Mokrov) and costumes (Tatiana Noginova), and an excellent, largely Russian cast provide authenticity. Splendid dancing by The Royal Ballet and Cossack dancers completes the spectacle. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true surround sound. Press Reviews

Review
Tchaikovsky's 'Cherevichki -- The Tsarina's Slippers' (Opus Arte). Here's something new for Christmas: Tchaikovsky. The Royal Opera production, directed by Francesca Zambello, of the unjustly neglected 'Christmas Eve,' goes all out, as it must to compete with the omnipresent 'Nutcracker.' --LA Times, Mark Swed, November 2010
