I really enjoyed this version with the younger dancers. There are versions when Clara is portrayed by dancers who are really too old for that role. I especially enjoyed Clara and the Prince who have so much confidence and stage presence. No, these are not seasoned dancers but they are learning and seem to enjoy this production. Bravo to them. Thank you.
Have you seen Vaganova academy production? They use even younger Clara (in Russian production it's "little Masha"). I like this one too. They (Vaganova) use younger students in the dance of the mirlitons as well.
@@jewelmarkess Will look. Thank you!
@@jewelmarkess Thank you very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
@@listfield You are very welcome. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
Indeed ! In this classical piece, Clara is supposed to be a woman when she dream and after the dream she become again a child
I really appreciate how much Clara and the Nutcracker interact with each other so much, it just adds so much more characterization and emotion
Clara she was feeling falls like wonderful young girl she was beautiful girl young lady she was so much better
She is the best CLARA I have ever seen in all of the many NUTCRACKER productions I have watched. Her face, her smile, her excitement as well as her dancing makes her the BEST.
agree totally - utterly convincing and charming a really stellar performance
I’m blown away with the gorgeous design of this show! He lighting?! The sets?! The costumes?! Not to mention the true heart and joy that the performers are showing us! This might be my favorite production to date! I’m so thankful this was recorded❤️
I loved when the older boy got socks and threw them on the floor. We’ve all had presents like that , very disappointing, especially when we’re not considered children any more. Little details like this bring the story to life.
Very expressive Clara, graceful and lovely. I loved this refreshing choreography, beautifully danced and well adapted to the students, with a lot of mime which many ballet companies forego these days. Ballet is a language that includes mime and helps tell the story. I particularly liked there was none of the acrobatics many choreographers feels they have to include in classical ballet. Lovely décor too. The costumes were imaginative and a feast for the eyes. The children were full of charm. The soloists wonderful. The whole performance captured the innocence of a childhood in an era long gone. Congratulations!
Agreed! Great review!
Спасибо великому музыканту Петру Чайковскому за восхитительную музыку!
Петр Ильич по образованию был юристом, а не музыкантом. Он творил музыку как композитор.
43:04 When they get excited about the snow and start throwing it each other other awww :-:
Дроссельмейер хорош! А Щелкунчики и Мари (Клара) из обоих актов - прекрасны! Прекрасная интерпретация и исполнение шедеврального балета! Спасибо Swedish National Ballet School and Royal Swedish Ballet School за доставленное удовольствие! Браво!
I often get anxious when watching youth productions of a traditional ballet piece as they have not measured up to the high quality of a demands required to be considered worthy of the music. HOWEVER, this ballet was amazing! The young professionals across the board, with special mention of the primaries, breath taking both with such promise for their respective futures! The creative additions were noted but I will say they added to the story line, along with the set design that the smaller stage didn't detract from the great performances ( a few light problems but ...) Well done to all and compliments to the primary dancers! Fantastic and thank you!
Thank you!
How graceful and confident the young dancers are.
43:10 this is my favorite moment, it was so adorable! She tosses snow at him when he's not looking and then he retaliates haha.
I love this. Please Never delte this.Thank You.
the costumes are so cool and wonderful! I’ve been dancing in the nutcracker for 8 years. I got to be Clara before the pandemic and this year I’m the snow queen.
fabuloso
Easily my favorite interpretation of this story. It may not be the most technically perfect as per Bolshoi.. but it has what none of the others have in abundance.. something called CHARM. Beautifully orchestrated too the charm emanates from all the principle characters and especially in the part of (Marie) Clara.
A popular piece of music
Never goes out of date!
Even without the visual!
I have never seen a male ballet dancer wear boots during a performance before so the Prince wearing boots and being able to dance like that is amazing.
I liked the boots.
@@saratemp790 So do I.
Есть что-то завораживающее в классическом балете. И в Чайковском. Перевода не требует. Спасибо за полученное удовольствие.
Hot Drosselmeyer is a win.
This has probably been the prettiest, most realistic, most creative, most adorable Nutcracker Ballet Ive ever seen! EVERYTHING was brilliant! Costumes, stage design, set design, lighting... The acting was remarkable, so believable and relatable. Delightful cozy atmosphere in Act 1, felt all warm and fuzzy. Act 2 was insanely amusing! Cant help smiling and giggling. Waiting for the next dance was really like expecting another magic from the magician's hat! All the kids looked like they were genuinely happy and I found myself rooting and cheering for them especially the Pas de Deux. Every time the curtain closed, it gave me goosebumps ALL over my body! All the leads.. absolutely gorgeous faces and the character roles looked like movie superstars! But my favorite of all was that little Russian marshmallow fellow.. 🙂
I think this is one of the best Nutcracker Ballets created. Kudos to the teachers of this school. The choreographers must be the best that there is now.. Lovely beautiful GENIUS brains. Watching this made me so happy. Thanks for the experience. What a treat! :)
🙏☺️
totally agree - the most charming delightful interpretation ever. You can see they really enjoyed it too. Agree with you comment about the leads they are so stunning its quite breath taking. Everyone involved in this production should be extremely happy with this brilliant production - its made my Christmas
Yes! Great review!
Really makes you feel like it is Christmas
Interesting interpretation of the coffee dance. I wondered how they would do what is generally done so sensually, with the younger performers.
I was surprised to see a school performing this ballet so incredibly professional! It was really joy to watch. Especially Clara and the young gentleman-nutcracker-prince are amazing! Lycka till eleverna för framtiden och god jul till alla!
Prince is so cute 😍😍😍😍
Not ashamed to say I teared up at this. This was so beautiful! Clara and the Nutcracker are amazing!
As a traditionalist I get anxious when I see youth productions as they have not measured up to any standards: cute but. HOWEVER, this production is outstanding in all of the senses of skill, creativity, set, outfit. The primary dancers are breath taking with great promises for their respective futures! The little changes to the traditional setting are an asset to the music and story line. Powerful, amazing, beautiful, a true masterpiece. Thank you!
This is a very nice piece of art of the telling story of the beautiful Christmas play of the NUTCRACKER.
One of my favorite Nutcracker performances ❤ It is made with so much love and you can truly feel this as an audience member.
I would have really appreciated to see all the dancers receiving the applause at the end!
if you wait the end titles you get few secs of full cast on the scene while the applause is still going ;-)
I would have liked that also
One of the most accurate representations of the original tale by Hoffmann ever! Not perfect, of course, a bit messy, but still very close, showing some aspects you'll never see in other versions. Some meaningful story at last, not another pointless 'christmas show'. And it's likely about as far as one can go exploring the (rather dark) meanings of the tale without scaring the public off. Thanks for sharing it!
Oh, and I really like how subtle some details are! They are there, and you can easily see them, if you know what to look for, yet they are so inconspicuous that most people won't even notice.
i quite enjoyed some of the messy bits - the kids were amazingly talented and the 2 leads a delight to watch
tell me more!!! any thoughts on how young/dark Drosselmier is? I was surprised by this detail
The chinese dance costumes are the prettiest i have ever seen
I love how much joy everyone showed in their performances, as well as the different types of candies portrayed and Drosselmeyer (so much glitter). I hope everyone in this continues to find much success and happiness in dancing.
I love the Sugarplum fairy. So delicate and lively.
I’m so glad I came across this version of Nutcracker to watch this Christmas Eve!! Others have commented on the many fine points of this production/performance, and I agree! I want to particularly praise the unique concept of this Nutcracker and how well carried out it is through the sets, props, costumes, characterizations, and original choreography. Drosselmeyer is a wonderfully clever interpretation, and the Gingerbread House is a brilliant re-vision of the Land of Sweets. A huge tip-of-the-hat to Sebastian Michanek for creating this delightful Christmas confection! 💚
Thank you! Very happy you liked it :)
don’t forget to appreciate the wonderful orchestra!
As a dancer who has performed this many times, this absolutely astonishes me every time
This is my time favorite show The Nutcracker Iam enjoyed plus de Music so Relaxing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
AB FAB reimagining!.......Rainy cold night in Montreal (Canada ) ...not feeling XMASSY so I randomly selected to watch this version on my laptop...So happy I did ....Glad Dosselmeyer was a young handsome dude ...AND they didn't mess with the Russian dance (played it straight forward,,,,,)......I guess I'll dream of sugar plum faeries ..OR Dosselmeyer haha (I believe he Sabastion did the Choreography........).
THE PAS DE DEUX MOVED ME TO TEARS. I'VE WATCHED MANY PERFORMANCES BUT THIS WAS SUPERB
it gets me every time, such a charming performance
I am smiling ear to ear watching this, I could have been there, the stage is soo close. Am so smiling from within, my heart is warm and full of joy after watching this. Such charm and witt, with enormous gusto and joye de vivre, CHARM is oouzzing! Yes, Bolshoi or TRB is technically better, this warms me all the way through! I love how Clara and her Prince are so interactive with each-other, not about technical show off, or perfection in pas de deux, they have true connection! Charm and love 💕
Agreed!
It is basically a COMING OF AGE story, Clara's first love.
Clara in a cage and being held hostage/captive by the mice and the Mouse King? VERY creative.
I agree with you
Muy buenas tardes, lo estoy viendo hoy Navidad 2021, es fantastica la propuesta, diferente de presentar el cascanueces, simplemente MARAVILLOSA PRESENTACION. Saludos y muchas felicidades desde México.
I love this sooo much Merry Christmas all. I treat myself to at least one nutcracker every Christmas so glad I chose this one tonight.
Me too! Glad I ran across it this year!
One of the cutest renditions of The Nutcracker!!!!
seriously - the two leads stole the show, so well suited and totally believable - they will go far
I loved Balanchine’s a lot, and it’s still my favorite. BUT this, it really portrays the story, I really love it and it’s an amazing production. It might be my new favorite ❤️.
I prefer the Balanchine as well. Much younger dancers. The skill level may not be as high, but it brings back better memories of the season.
All credit to those too who have brought these young talents to this level and supported them to present us with this superb Christmas treat - EXCEPT the hole in the a stage obsessive. Watching these young talents a metre from career destroying injury for the sake of a pathetic bit of theatre gave me the heebie jeebies. Nail it up,
💯
tend to agree it was a tad unnecessary and fraught with risk. Besides that the preformance was so refreshing and fabulously creative and charming
This is a particularly good performance. Drosselmeyer is great, Clara is lovely, and I like all the added details like Drosselmeyer's workshop, the gingerbread castle, the mice locking Clara in a cage, and the giant sweet props. Though, it's rather amusing that the Nutcracker is just a store-bought Nutcracker Christmas decoration. Clara and the Nutcracker Prince are about the right sort of age here too, they shouldn't be adults but they shouldn't be small children either. Around 12/13 is right.
I'm also pleased they included the Sugar Plum fairy, even if her main dance still went to an aged-up Clara. The last version I saw cut her out altogether to give her dance to Marie (as her name was in that version). I wasn't such a fan of replacing the Spanish Chocolate dance with a Liquorice Allsort dance and the Arabian Coffee dance with whatever the guys in black were supposed to be doing.
It's also good to see the bottoms of everybody's shoes are pretty clean. I've seen several ballets on here now where everyone's dancing in filthy black shoes which is distracting and seems unprofessional, surely new shoes must be available.
Loved this performance of the nutcracker my favourite movie
Un clásico por Navidad. Original vestuario. He visto Cascanueces dos veces y la veré cuantas veces pueda.
I like the "snowflakes disappearing into the distant fog" effect. I've never seen that done before.
I've never watched a ballet all the way through before, but thus is pure magic from the very beginning. I will surely watch more, any reccommendations gratefully received.

The best Nutcracker I ever seen!
Talented young dancers, very sweet production! I have never seen young ones dance the Pas de Deux before and they did a wonderful, wonderful job.
ua-cam.com/video/vlII3vCQzzM/v-deo.html
they are so amazing together I keep coming back to watch this its so refreshing and unpretentious - love it!
magnific ballet great interpretation !!!!! thanks very much !!!!! From NICE COTE D AZUR !!!!! love love love !!!!!
Different version, but totally enjoyable 👏👏
I love The way they dance and The costume and The directorship îs very well regised
So lovely! Those young dancers are amazing. And I love the costumes as well, they remind me of Anne of Green Gables
That's what I was thinking, that this version must be taking place around 1900 or so, based on the costumes? Bc the little girls have puffed sleeves and the women have those skirts/shirtwaists with the high necks that have a definite Green Gables vibe. It seems like a lot of versions set the action in the late 1700s powdered wig days, so I like the ones that change the era.
@@CJ-oq6xs same! It feels more fresh, in a way, because of that
@@CJ-oq6xs Hello from France. I love it ! it makes me think of my charming sister-in-law. Merry Christmas to all !
Magical, delightful, so joyful, great acting, and I especially loved the red striped dresses so very much.
Beautiful sets and dancing ! Love from a Canadian dancer! 🇨🇦🥰
Love the allsorts! They were my oldemor's favourite candy.
This was the very best performance I have seen, Many kids and young people makes it seems so real that a young girl would dream this! Better by far from others that don’t seem to connect with kids or teenagers! All were so cute and costumes were wonderful! Great job everyone!
I would love to see this live sometime!!
This is wonderful! I especially love the story details like the socks or the child constantly interrupting the story. Really feels like watching a family christmas celebration.
agree totally love the lack of formality and youthful exuberance
Not exactly a classic, but a joyful, exciting, and at times moving presentation. The Swedish Ballet School should be proud of this presentation which has some delightful dancing and outstanding performances.
Charming production.
But why did somebody decide to send performers dressed in black on stage and then turn down the lighting so that it was very hard to see the performance ?
We like to watch the Nutcracker each Christmas but this was the first time seeing this version. Such a sweet ballet. Very well done!
Before the snowflakes waltz, the pas de de deux was full of joy and a kind of affection that it made burst in tears…just amazing
What a beautiful performance! Outstanding talent and artistic design! Bravo!
One of my favorite nutcracker performances I've ever seen! Incredible! 🇸🇪
What a wonderful and very beautiful performance. There all great dancers in there own special way and that’s what makes this nutcracker so good and graceful. The show even brings a tear of joy to my eye and my heart. Clara did a great job and same with the prince/nutcracker, my favorite art of the show was everything!!!
The Russian dance. The boy on the right. Adorable!!!!! Talented young dancers.
What a beautiful production. It was a joy to see all the youngsters who are so talented. Absolutely loved every minute. Thank you.
Heartwarming, beautiful production. Brilliant performance of the male part in second act pas de deux 👏🏻
Que maravilloso ❤️👏👏 y maravilloso también poder verlo desde casa ! Muchas gracias , me encanta 👏👏❤️❤️
A gorgeous production! The costumes and sets were wonderful, and some of the young dancers hit their marks better than I've seen professional dancers do. Bravo!

I LOVE IT 4 LIFE!
What a stunning performance! And even more impressive knowing that these are students - still learning. They are magnificent. The pas de deux between both sets of Clara/Nutcracker are something beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and bookmarked it to enjoy again.
