It looks beautiful...but not sure what the tune is that it's playing....supposed to be Swan Lake..TBH can't make it out?

Perfect idea for a little girl who never takes her tutu off. BUT the Swan Lake music didn’t work at all so useless. Very fisappointin

The media could not be loaded. This could be a nice little gift for ballerina fan. On arrival it worked perfectly. It lights up in a sequence of colours and plays music whilst the base inside goes around. The music isn't the nicest but it looks pretty.Within minutes one of my younger grandchildren picked it up, it's a heavy item and she dropped it from a height of around 1 foot onto carpet so it was a fairly low impact drop. I was relieved it didn't damage the globe but it did knock the base out of alignment and there was no way to get it back so it no longer works correctly. You can see on my photos that the base inside the globe is now raised at one side so it no longer rotates or plays the tune.Children are going to pick these things up, they are going to want to try and get them to work so I would expect it to be a little more durable than that.

The build of this is solid and the product is delivered well protected in the packaging. There is a small LED light with a button cell battery pre-installed (although not disconnected with a pull tab) and the usual turn key for the music box. Can’t say that the jingle this plays is familiar at all, and one of the notes seems out of place to me, as if off key, but this could be what the intended tune sounds like.The music box activation is connected to a gearing mechanism that drives the statue area into a spin as well as a fan mechanism to create an internal vortex which keeps the snow effect going. The price is average for this type of ornament and I think it’s worth the cost.

Purchased this item for my Great Niece , who at 9 years old is a keen ballet dancer and gymnast.She will adore this beautiful Ballerina globe. the ballerina figure is very sweet, I really like the pearl decoration around the base, and I absolutely love the glitter snow.

I absolutely love this Large Musical Snow Globe - Swan Lake! The craftsmanship is stunning, with a beautiful ballerina spinning gracefully inside the globe surrounded by delicate swans. The details are so intricate, and the soft snow that swirls around when shaken is magical. The music, which plays the iconic "Swan Lake" melody, adds a lovely touch, creating a calming, enchanting atmosphere. This globe is not only a beautiful decorative piece but also a sentimental gift for any dance or ballet lover. It’s a perfect combination of elegance, charm, and nostalgia. Highly recommend!

Opening this gave me the ooh factor that I used to have as a child when I was given a snow globe as a gift. It's very heavy and large, with thick glass, so if you gave this to a small child, it would have to be handled with supervision as they could do some serious damage to their heads if they dropped it while attempting to lift it up, for instance. Anyway, all that aside, this is a cute but kitsch ornament. Of course, kitsch goes with the territory for snow globes, so if you're buying for a fan of the ballet or someone who collects snow globes, don't let that stop you. The lights cycle through a spectrum of colours, the snow glitters, the dancer and the swans turn. Underneath, the stand is encrusted with flowers and swans. It's all very over-the-top and weirdly captivating. The tune is supposed to be 'Swan Lake' but be aware that it's not the famous Swan Theme. I'm guessing it's from the ballet score somewhere but it's pretty unfamiliar. Nice though, if repetitive.
