Nutcracker│NEW YORK CITY BALLET │2011

TCHAIKOVSKY HAD A GENIUS. FOR. DOING. THE. MUSIC , I. THINK.. LISTEN. AND SEE . ITS. THERE . FOR. YOU .

[@jrgrimm6091]

I just think this is the only version that does it right. So many versions are so slow and technical, which is impressive, but I don't think suits well for a story that is essentially just a little girl dreaming about dancing candy. But Balanchine really understood that this has to be the most whimsical, delicious looking, cheerful spectacle. And it works so well.

[@SarahAdams-f7s]

Yes

[@rolo6932]

Absolutely, agree with you. It is the most beautiful version ever! Exactly as it should be. I've always had problems with Marie being danced by an adult female! The choreography is spectacular! It`s the perfect version!

Great job NYC Ballet. Having so many children in the production makes it special since The Nutcracker is a child's fantasy. The 1993 version is also on KZbin and is pretty much the same except there is a narrator.

[@dharmaofdog7676]

This is just not a "Ballet". THIS is "THE NYC Ballet Co Production" and it is absolutely THE most beautiful version of this Story. I was fortunate to have a few Friends who danced with the Company and this Ballet in particular. So for years I would go by myself to support my Friends and it was always so special and a treat. When my Son & Nephews turned 6yrs, we started going every Year and inadvertently established a wonderful, Family Christmas Tradition. We'd all Taxi from School and Work, & meet for early Dinner at a Restaurant right across the street from Lincoln Ctr. They hung a huge, decorated Christmas Tree "upside down" in the center of the Restaurant. Memorable for sure! When the Kids turned around 10yrs, we asked them if they wanted to stop going & do something else instead of the Ballet? There was always an emphatic response of "No"!! So for almost 15yrs and more, Christmas didn't seem Christmas without The NYC Ballet Nutcracker! Amazingly, it was always so wonderful each & every time. Our Family remains SO grateful to have that opportunity to go see some of the greatest Dancers in the World dance this beautiful Story. Truly Special. I hope they NEVER change the Sets in that awful way when Companies try to "modernize". The FEELING this Set created in the stunning Koch Theatre is like no other. Nothing can match that truly Magical Snowflake Dance when the Snow begins to gently fall - breathtaking. So Thank you NYC Ballet Co. Thank you Lincoln Center. and Thank You NYC for continuing to embrace the Arts and offer Experiences to the Public, those like The Nutcracker, that enrich and fulfill our Hearts and Minds! p.s. another THANK YOU to whomever posted this so I can continue to share this particular Production with my Grandchildren!!

[@lisbellaraceligaraycordova992]

Good idea, I'll try to do it :)

[@ethanrossdance2377]

Personally I think Philadelphia ballet's nutcracker is even better. It's the same version just the set and costumes are beautiful

[@AllenJones-w3p]

The American Ballet Theatre's version is the definitive version as far as I'm concerned, if only because of Baryshnikov's virtuoso performance in the title role.

[@BJDJMusic]

What a wonderful story you shared with us! So happy you enriched the memories of watching the Nutcracker with your family.

[@cheshirecat7132]

Thank for sharing your family tradition. Maybe your once little ones will share some of their love for ballet with their little ones over time. I’m a New Yorker too and there’s nothing as special as a night out at a performance at Lincoln Center. We were very fortunate . Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@hannahmills8071]

props to the orchestra!! they did such an amazing job!! also i’ve never seen a conductor that was a woman!! i’m loving this!

[@erpollock]

When you realize that the children's choreography is completely planned by Balanchine and has been preserved as he intended since 1954, it is simply amazing. Balanchine made the most of the abilities of the children, while not going beyond their abilities. The children advance the story with acting and emotion. It is so impressive.

[@annasaifulina3574]

И к тому же под музыку русского трепака танцевали не трепак, и вообще какие то клоуны, а все остальные в национальных костюмах и национальные танцы, даже в русском балете эти американцы умудрились впихнуть русофобию.

[@hannahmills8071]

the snowflake piece is always my favorite to see how each production interprets their own snowflakes and their accessories (they’re holding what looks like snowballs, the russian ballet used snowball headbands,etc) and really makes it their own!!

[@MitchellTheMitch]

Dude what?

[@andrewdarley8988]

I really like this version in that it keeps the same Clara and Prince throughout rather than swapping them out for a more mature couple to do the more advanced dancing in the second act. Also it hasn't extended Dossellmeyer's role to a universal compere as seems to have become the fashion. After all what maiden having a first romance with a young Prince would want her creepy old uncle popping up all over the place.

[@guppti-tamberooly-jooortel1422]

Dossellmeyer does be giving uncle you would not want to leave unsupervised with your young children energy is most productions

[@alim3611]

thank u , I like this version where the story is seen thru a child's eye

[@suebursztynski2530]

The Australian Ballet did a version where Drosselmeyer was much younger and he did what he did to break the spell on his nephew(turned into a nutcracker). In the last scene he comes home and finds his nephew back, spell broken.

[@suebursztynski2530]

I really like what they do with the children, giving them a chance to really dance - and act in some cases, such as the delightful child playing Fritz so cheekily.

Отлично исполнили свои балетные партии -- дети, создающие сказочный мир данного балета и, являющимися его -- украшением. Хорошо исполнена балетная партия "Вальс цветов" из второго действия балета "Щелкунчик", -- солисткой (прима-балерина Нью-Йорк Сити балет) -- Эшли Баудер (Ashley Bouder). Браво! Молодцы! Подписка.

I was one of the party parents and I was the makeup artist for Mother Ginger

[@BJDJMusic]

In 1996, when I was a baby, roughly over 1 year old, I slept throughout almost all of the Nutcracker. I, then, woke up with the sound of the Coda playing and with the dancers as the sugar plum fairy and her cavalier. From then on, I hardly recognized what the ballet's story, was. Until, one day, back in the mid 2010s, I discovered the NYC Ballet production created by George Balanchine. I have no doubt, ever since, that this is the perfect ballet adaptation to produce with Tchaikovsky's music. I saw a couple of others elsewhere, but nothing could compare to this production. As a classically trained musician from a young age, I wish to say that this production of the Nutcracker by NYC ballet is very wonderful, very fitting for the Christmas spirit, and very unforgettable!

[@svetashchukina6045]

[@Oliviadance27]

New York City Ballet Nutcracker makes me tear up because my dance studio does Nutcracker NYCB style (Balanchine style), and ive done many of these parts with practically the same dances. It just makes me want it to be Nutcracker performance times again. My studio just now performed Nutcracker a few weeks ago, and I cried at bows for the last show. The dancing, music, and story is just so beautiful. I’m very excited to perform next year and for what part I will get.

[@Marine-t3n]

Необычное либретто.... Конечно, в корне отличается от классического Щелкунчика Петра Чайковского, но американской публике понравилось.... Хочется отметить интересные декорации. Детская танцевальная программа прекрасна, но взрослый балет - деревянный.. Даже странно, что в таком знаменитом театре - низкий технический уровень балета. Скорее всего это оттого, что в Америке нет школы классического балета. А дети - замечательно танцуют!

[@mainsteelful]

100% с вами согласна. Уровень взрослых исполнителей низкий. Максимова и Васильев, или Цискаридзе c Воронцовой - классика !!! И после этих корифеев такое?! Увольте...

[@tamcon72]

This is such a stereotypically Russian comment. [eye roll]

[@АлександрДресвянников-к4ж]

Либретто как раз оригинальное, Мариуса Петипа, именно этот вариант Щелкунчика появился в 1893 году, а советские спектакли - отход от оригинала. Баланчивадзе, кстати участвовал в оригинальной постановке как артист. Насчет исполнителей не согласен, они танцуют ту хореографию, которую им написали. Они не виноваты что она такая устаревшая по сравнению с советской. А вот дети очень плохо танцуют, по сравнению со спектаклем Вайнонена, где участвуют ученики школы Вагановой, это какой-то сельский клуб.

[@Моби2014]

@@tamcon72 Извините,но это не балет. Это новогодние представление в городском доме культуры. Для детей. Если этот спектакль привезти в Россию, зрители будут в недоумении. Это факт.

Ярко, насыщенно. Прекрасная идея и задумка в конце с оленями. Очень необычно и торжественно смотрится. ( почти как в опере Девушка с Запада) Вообще музыка Чайковского шедевр. Я так рад, что он подарил не только России, но и всему миру прекрасную мелодию и такой шедевр как : Щелкунчик.

[@НаташаТоррьери]

Ну, что же сказать, пересмотрела версию балета ЩЕЛКУНЧИК в постановке из Нью Йорка - понравилось. Теперь разберу по косточкам. Величайшая музыка русского композитора осталась и это самое главное, она перекроет все возможные шероховатости и вытянет на высокий уровень. Я увидела здесь изменено Libretto - другое прочтение сюжета и в маленьких деталях, это имеет место быть такое часто встречается в разных театральных постановках. Но, должна сказать правду, мне больше нравится оригинал в исполнении балетной труппы Большого театра в Москве и также в Кремлевском Дворце /там тоже прекрасная сцена, но танцует другая балетная труппа/. Почему?! Потому, что я выросла на нашей русской балетной школе, имея возможность часто посещать лучшие спектакли научилась понимать фигуру танца. Второе, что мне показалось важно здесь отметить, в американской версии улетучился русский дух. Например, там есть русский танец, который естественно надо было выполнять в национальном русском костюме /наш русский костюм очень красивый/ под залихватскую русскую музыку, но я сильно разочаровалась, увидела мальчиков в пижаме в полосочку с дурацкими шапочками и обручами в руках. Я понимаю, с какой целью это было сделано. В общем, на мой взгляд, художественная декораторская составляющая спектакля потеряна, так как ЩЕЛКУНЧИК это спектакль под Рождество и Новый Год, здесь должна быть совершенно другая палитра красок - зимняя сказка! Я в данной версии увидела бисквитно кремовый торт, очень-очень сладкий много розового цвета от куклы Барби «что-то», таким образом сильно пострадал смысл спектакля. И последнее на что я обратила внимание - дети, дети хорошо они цветы жизни, но тут их было слишком много и опять потеряна идея самого Оригинала. А идея такова, что не дети танцуют /они в силу возраста не дотягивают до высоких отношений/, а главный герой Щелкунчик /принц расколдованный, он превратился в прекрасного юношу/ и девочка Маша - они главные герои, это гимн чистой возвышенной любви! Приезжайте в Москву и сами увидеть не торт с розочками сладкий, а высокое искусство - музыка + мастерство балетной школы + дополнительный смысл, который раскрывается в сценических красках .

[@VadimSax]

Дополню вас. Я увидел здесь несколько почти гениальных находок (китайская шкатулка, например) и кучу откровенных глупостей (русский танец, здесь полностью с вами согласен). Например, работа ног в танце снежинок мне показалась феноменальной , как и весь танец. А вот Па-де-де откровенно крайне слабое, как технически, так и эмоционально. И насчёт "русского духа" - действительно, почти не обнаружено... Насчёт музыки. Как ни странно, оркестр играет почти образцово. А вот смотрел выпускников академии Ваганова в Большом театре 2024 года - у Гергиева в оркестре и флейты, и скрипки позволяют себе почти откровенную фальш в некоторых местах, и слаженности между группами оркестра мало. Это откровенно удивило!
