DISCLAIMER: I found this recording on another site. (the original video, which has a higher resolution can be found here https://my.mail.ru/mail/zharkov.50/video/10/1102.html)
This appears to be nearly the complete ballet. However, this is NOT a professional recording. There is a considerable amount of camera shakiness and poor lighting in many parts of this production. (The lighting at times washes out the entire stage performance. And the camera angle is sometimes extremely crooked.) However, since I have not seen this performance available on YouTube, I am sharing it for those who may enjoy the video, despite its flaws. I spent several hours trying to improve the video, but I was unable to fix it to my satisfaction, so instead, I am simply uploading the original video "AS-IS". All edits are from the original poster. I have not edited this video in any way.
