Description:

The Royal Ballet's "Nutcracker" has been performed at Christmas for more than 30 years, but this 2015 version, which also celebrates the 90th birthday of master choreographer Peter Wright, is the "newest" version of "The Nutcracker" by Wright, who brushed up the production to constantly explore a new world while respecting tradition. While respecting tradition, Wright has always brushed up his direction in search of new worlds. Wright's careful portrayal of the characters' personalities and attention to each small movement transformed this story from a "fairy tale" to a "story of a young girl growing up," evoking great emotion, and Clara, with her youthful Hayward dancing, was highly acclaimed. The huge Christmas tree decorated in the center of the room and the beautiful costumes. The fantastic stage, with the ever-popular Cuthbertson, Bonelli, Hayward, Campbell, and others dancing, will enchant all audiences. Naxos Japan
