Winter Dreams DVD

The story is familiar, but the staging remarkably new: a ballet based on playwright Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters against a musical backdrop of Tchaikovsky piano compositions and traditional Russian guitar music. Kenneth MacMillan's one-act masterpiece stars dancers Darcy Bussell as Masha and Irek Mukhamedov as Colonel Vershinin, adulterous protagonists in a provincial Russian town at the turn of the 20th century.
