Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker: Australian Ballet (2000)

In a stunning departure from tradition, Graeme Murphy transforms Nutcracker into a production which is uniquely Australian. The ballet is the story of Clara, once a famous Russian ballerina, who first came to Australia in the 1940s. It chronicles her turbulent, nomadic life: and is a moving tribute to all of the dedicated artists who forged the ballet tradition in Australia.
