Well, local live theatre sucks here, so I am presently watching Peter Wright's "The Nutcracker" (Tchaikovsky) on a regular station - Knowledge Channel (K:HD). It gets good (for me) once the Spanish Dancers begin... what would Xmas be without seeing The Nutcracker? Choreography is brilliant, stage scenario so beautiful. Had a few ripples of ecstasy inside. Love the music. Seeing The Nutcracker once a year during Xmas does it for me.

I must say, though, as a small child, having seen Sleeping Beauty live once, ballet was never a favourite choice for me. I wondered during the beginning of this production, like wow, I never had any dreams like that as a child. Anyways, I am also taping this, and will most likely watch it a second time. To me, this ballet ranks the best in terms of what to watch during this holiday season.
