, reset during the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exhibition, introduces “Dance in America” viewers to the dazzling Maria Kochetkova and Davit Karapetyan. Olympic champion figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi hosts the broadcast.
Since the first production The Nutcracker in St.
Petersburg more than a century ago, its charming story, dazzling
choreography and magnificent Tchaikovsky score have combined to
make it one of the most popular and enduring ballets the world
over. San Francisco Ballet makes the beloved ballet its own,
resetting it during the 1915 Panama Pacific International
Exhibition and introducing "Dance in America" viewers to the
dazzling Maria Kochetkova and Davit Karapetyan. The work is
choreographed by artistic director Helgi Tomasson and features
dazzling sets by Michael Yeargan and opulent costumes by Martin
Pakledinaz, both Tony Award-winning designers. Olympic champion
figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi hosts.
