Narrated by Kevin Kline, the film includes performance footage of several of Balanchine's most acclaimed works, as well as ballets by Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins, and a rare glimpse behind-the-scenes at a number of backstage dramas. "Bringing Balanchine Back" was originally shown on PBS in 2006, but the new DVD boasts never before seen footage.
