The Nutcracker - A Ballet by Youri Vamos with The Bonn Ballet DVD

A production of Tchaikovsky's ballet 'The Nutcracker' performed by the Bonn Ballet and the Bonn Telecom Classic Philharmonic Orchestra; conducted by Heribert Beissel, choreographed by Youri Vamos and directed by Derek Bailey.

Hungarian choreographer Youri Vàmos creates a charming ballet fantasy in a blending of two of the most familiar stories of the Christmas holiday season in The Nutcracker: A Christmas Story. Dicken's A Christmas Carol and Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker come together as Ebenezer Scrooge decides to change his miserly ways (with the help of The Spirit of Christmas) while Bob Cratchit's daughter Clara becomes fascinated and entranced by a toy soldier nutcracker. The scenes unfold to Tchaikovsky's classic score. A delightful holiday program that will be cherished for years to come.
