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.#XX#
