Problem
Compare Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" (in the example of Balanchine's 1993 version of the final 30 minutes of the performance by the New York City Ballet) with Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" (the Joffrey Ballet's 1987 recreation of Nijinsky's choreography). Describe differences you see between the ballets, in terms of the music, the dance, the content of the ballets, as well as any other aspects of these works that you feel as you watch them.
