The beautiful Prince Baryshnikov pirouettes from The NUTCRACKER ballet!

From The NUTCRACKER - ACT 2, with Mikhail Baryshnikov & Gelsey Kirkland, a Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ballet, from American Ballet Theatre, 1977.

The NUTCRACKER is the magical and lighthearted story of a small girl's dream on Christmas Eve. Mikhail Baryshnikov is the toy Nutcracker-turned-Prince in this exhilarating production that marked his initial and universally acclaimed choreographic effort. Gelsey Kirkland is little Clara, the dreamer, and Alexander Minz is Drosselmeyer, the wizard who conjures up the dream and eventually dispels it. Extravagant sets and costumes bring the beauty of this winter wonderland to life.

Baryshnikov's "The NUTCRACKER" delivers a brilliant and sparkling adaptation of the famous E.T.A. Hoffmann tale and Tchaikovsky's classic score and the spectacular dancing performance by the magnificent team of Baryshnikov, one of the greatest classical dancers of the century, and Gelsey Kirkland, both showcased at the peak of their careers, with members of the American Ballet Theatre.

"The NUTCRACKER" ballet is a remarkable treasure that has been and will be enjoyed and loved by many generations.
