Television: San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker on PBS

[tzbutterfly]

Has anyone else seen on Christmas eve the "Nutcracker" by San Francisco Ballet on PBS? It was a fantastic performance and production! I could recognize Yuan Yuan Tan as Snowflakes dancer. However, does anyone know who was the Sugar Plum Fairy dancer?

I have it recorded! I will go look for you! I really, really enjoyed their version.

I love the SFB Nutcracker!!!!! I could watch Yuan Yuan Tan in "Snow" forever! I think that their Sugarplum is Vanessa Zahorian.

[Clara 76]

Yep!!

Thank both of you, Clara76 and Pointeprovider! On San Francisco ballet website, Vanessa's bio actually mentioned her role: "In December 2008, Zahorian was featured as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the PBS Great Performances broadcast of Tomasson’s Nutcracker, co-produced by San Francisco Ballet and KQED Public Television San Francisco, in association with Thirteen/WNET New York". She certainly has a very impressive resume!
