The Pacific Northwest Ballet Presents: Nutcracker

About this book

For more than 20 years the Pacific Northwest Ballets performance of Nutcracker has been the Christmas family event to attend in the Northwest. Highlighted by Maurice Sendaks stunning production design and Kent Stowells inventive choreography (which emphasizes the darker psychological aspects of E. T. A. Hoffmanns original story) the ballet has been a critical and popular success. Fans of the performance can now relive each scene through the pages of this exquisite keepsake edition. From the Christmas party where young Clara is given a simple nutcracker to her adventures and romance in the enchanted kingdom of the Nutcracker Prince Angela Sterlings photographs capture all the magic of this beloved work. Designed for children the books handsome images and seasonal charm make this a thoughtful gift for adult balletomanes as well.
