The NUTCRACKER - ACT 2 ballet with Mikhail Baryshnikov & Gelsey Kirkland, music by Tchaikovsky, 1977
Mikhail Baryshnikov & Gelsey Kirkland in The Nutcracker ballet - Act 2, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, from the 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 . 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.

Mikhail Nikolaevich Baryshnikov is a Soviet-born Russian American dancer, choreographer, and actor born on January 27th, 1948, in Riga, Latvia. He is widely regarded, alongside Vaslav Nijinsky and Rudolf Nureyev, as one of the most incredible ballet dancers of the 20th century.
After a promising start in the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, he defected to the West in 1974 while on tour in Canada. He eventually settled in the United States for more opportunities and became a principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre. He later joined the New York City Ballet as a principal dancer. He collaborated with choreographers such as Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Twyla Tharp, and his repertoire includes both classical and contemporary works.
In addition, his success as a dramatic actor on stage, cinema, and television has helped him become probably the most widely recognized contemporary ballet dancer.
He has won numerous awards and honors and is an influential dance and performing art figure.
