George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker."

"The holiday season in New York brings with it many traditions, among them the lighting of the Radio City Christmas Tree; the spectacular Christmas show at the Radio City Music Hall; multiple performances of Handel's Messiah; and the remarkable George Balanchine choreography for Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet, performed some 45 times in December and January by the world-renowned company he and balletomane Lincoln Kirstein founded in 1948, the New York City Ballet."

Live From Lincoln Center will be on hand for one of those performances on the evening of Wednesday, December 14.

Tonight at 8:00PM EST, only on PBS!
