Nina Anaiashvili in HD

[EvilNinjaX]

While I was wandering CostCo, I passed by the HDTVs; typically they have some sporting event HD clips running. This time, they had a ballet on and it looked very good. I'm not sure exactly what ballet it was as it quickly excerpted to something else. I did notice that it had Nina Ananiashvili in it and that it looked like like La Bayadere Land of the Shades or Giselle's Wilis or sumsuch. It had a very nice look to it as opposed to (say) the DVDs that are simply VHS-dumps. No, i donut know which ballet company it was nor how old, though, if it was filmed in HD, it must be fairly recent.

Anyone know what this is and what/where it's from?

making a wild guess i recently noticed that ananiashvili's DON QUIXOTE opposite the dashing alexe fedeyechev is now released on dvd. perhaps the segment you saw was from the dream scene of this production.

i don't know of any BAYADERE or GISELLE now on tape w/ Ananaiashvili and a full corps de ballet but i could be mistaken.

perhaps someone is simultaneously responding your query more authoritatively.

my main point was that this ballet was FILMED IN HI-DEFINITION as looked really nice (not just an up-converted 480p DVD) and so i'm really interested in what the source is (HD-DVD? Blu-Ray?) and if there are not HD masters of ballets. I'm looking at the 2nd gen Tosh HD-DVD player (XA2) or perhap a PS3; I'm still debating the relative merits of either HD system. Ballets available would tip the balance!

if ananiashvili was filmed it anything like the ballet scene mentioned here it would have to been a few years back because she has been off stage for at least 2 years, if mem. serves, starting a family and running the georgian ballet company.

i plead total ignorance in the light of what makes HD dvds etc.

none of the above technology acronyms and numbers means anything to me i'm afraid.

good luck w/ your explorations.
