Weekend Movies - The Nutcracker Ballet with Mikhail Baryshnikov

This presentation was filmed in a studio without an audience under Mikhail Baryshnikov's direction. He also stars in it!

Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland are pure, weightless joy in this rendition of Tchaikovsky’s beloved holiday classic. With toy soldiers, snow maidens, warrior mice, and exquisite dancing, few ballets inspire such exhilaration and passion as The Nutcracker Suite. Beautiful and perfect for the holidays. Light jacket/sweater recommended for auditorium. This movie series is dedicated to former library director Donna Tunsoy for her commitment to our library community. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Martin County Library System, Inc
