Ovation TV’s Battle Of The Nutcrackers $500 Giveaway

Since Tchaikovsky created The Nutcracker almost 125 years ago, it’s become a worldwide sensation. What’s your favorite version of The Nutcracker? Ovation TV , the only national television network dedicated to the arts and personal creativity, hosts “The Battle of the Nutcrackers”.  This year’s “Battle of the Nutcrackers” includes a full week of Nutcracker ballets from St. Petersburg, Berlin, London, and Moscow. Of course they are missing my favorite version, the one I was in in third grade but I’ll forgive them for not posting that one and check out the ones they are showing.
