Position:Home>Performing Arts> Which version of Nutcracker is this?


Question:Shown on PBS some years ago. What I remember is a stunning woman, dressed as a peacock, in the Arabian Dance. I haven't been able to find the video, but knowing which production it was would greatly narrow the search. Thanks.

I believe it was the Pacific Northwest Ballet's version, designed by Maurice Sendak (who illustrated "Where the Wild Things Are").
