Vicky Simegiatos Dance Co. presents THE NUTCRACKER
Tchaikovsky’s classic score and Balanchine’s timeless choreography twirl to life in a holiday classic which sees young Clara venture into a dreamland of snow and ice. New York City Ballet principals star as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, backed by the incredibly talented Vicky Simegiatos Dance Company and the magical setting of the magnificent St. George Theater. A link to the NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/24/arts/dance/review-nutcracker-tchaikovsky-staten-island.html Favorite quote: "This will remain one of my favorite "Nutcracker" memories" - Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times.
Based on a novel by 19th-century romantic fabulist E.T.A. Hoffman, The Nutcracker weaves a magical tale of holiday adventure around one of the most recognizable scores in the ballet repertoire. It begins when young Clara receives a nutcracker from her godfather, a wizardly toymaker named Drosselmeyer. Sneaking downstairs to see the toy after everyone else has gone to bed, she suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of a pitched battle between the toys and an army of mice. After saving the nutcracker with a well-thrown shoe to the Mouse King's head, Clara and her now-living prince venture into the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets to celebrate.
Throughout their adventures, Tchaikovsky's dazzling inventiveness propels the dances of nimble flowers and regal fairy queens. The "Waltz of the Snowflakes" floats weightlessly above the angelic voices of a youth choir, whereas the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" tiptoes to the haunting, music-box chimes of a celesta. A medley of exotic national dances—including a Spanish bolero and Russian Trepak—add to the phantasmagoric celebration before the whole dream ends, as all dreams must.
