You're welcome, Michael.

A few years ago (10? 20?)the Joffrey Ballet recreated the first  
performance of Sacre, the choreography and costumes. I had the good  
fortune to see it twice. I hope to be in Paris in 2013 for the 100th  
anniversary of the premiere. I suppose it's too early to buy tickets.

Other notable performances include The Bejart Ballet, watched while  
coming down from my first (and only) LSD adventure, and a so-so  
performance with a so-so recording by an unnamed orchestra but with a  
lovely Asian ballerina who danced the sacrificial ending completely  
naked.

I'll have a look at the YouTube versions.
