Tchaikovsky: Cherevichki Blu-ray (The Royal Opera)Based on Gogols comic story about the Devils antics on Christmas Eve, this magical blend of opera and ballet is brought to vivid life in Francesca Zambellos 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. See our full collection of opera Blu rays and DVDs
