The Nutcracker

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

With Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland, with artists of the American Ballet Theatre.
The National Philharmonic conducted by Kenneth Schermerhorn
For his first major venture into choreography, Mikhail Baryshnikov chose one of the world's most popular ballets, The Nutcracker, to Tchaikovsky's enchanting score.
Baryshnikov says of the ballet: 'It is more than the spirit of Christmas. It has suspense, romance, fantasy - something for everyone. It also has, I think, the most glorious ballet music ever written.'
