Backstage at the Kirov (1984)

Director Derek Hart takes us where we've never been and shows us what we've never seen backstage at St. Petersburg's famed Kirov Ballet--arguably the best classical ballet troupe in the world. The company was responsible for producing Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker as well as Baryshnikov, Makarova, Nureyev, Pavlova and Nijinsky.
