The Dream Is Over

Christopher Bruce's ballet, specially-choreographed for television, is set to music by John Lennon and performed by soloists of the Cullberg Ballet.

The songs used are Mother, Working Class Hero, Love, Well, Well, Well, Look at Me, Don't Believe It, My Mummy is Dead and Imagine. A documentary introduction to this programme is also available.
