Wow. The female dancer from Boston Ballet has the toy mannerisms down better than anyone I've ever seen. It looks super difficult to incorporate that mechanical unsteadiness without actually being unsteady. Same goes for whoever is in the bear suit. Total control, even in that unwiedly-looking costume. Amazing.
A big part of that is her stiff arms and hands. They’re not the usual pretty ballet fingers. As for the bear, I know people who’ve worn similar costumes for mascots and theme parks, it’s like wearing a sofa
Agreed.
@@argella1300 I recently learned that the Boston Ballet bear costume is made of tulle rather than fake fur, and is much lighter then it looks. Brilliant move by the costume designers.
Agreed! You described exactly what I was feeling!
The black face. lol
Nothing can prepare you for seeing that bear dance around live onstage. He’s so big, and his presence is very striking. Great video!
!! As they should. The dancers appear small from the cheap seats :////
That was disturbing.....😯
The first ‘ballerina doll’ dancer is crazy talented! I’m sure it goes against all her training to look so mechanical and ‘stiff’ while still doing all those moves and keeping her balance!
2:10 BAHAHA i love how they carry the dancers as if they're really toys its actually rlly adorable
I just saw a version where the footman carried the ballerina doll offstage upside down, very very funny.😂
The toy dancers seem like their harder roles to play than the Sugar Plum Fairy bc you have to be so stiff like a doll, and as graceful as a ballerina! 🤌🏻
the doll from boston ballet is stunning- just such doll-like mannerisms whilst still dancing beautifully
I appreciate the choreography of Baryshnikov the best. Seeing the toys waddle around and 'dance' as well as they can using a only narrow range of movements is not only very fun to watch, but it really sells their role as automatons.
it's too bad about the blackface...
that bear costume must be heavy! props to the dancer!!
It’s actually made of tulle and Lycra so it’s lighter than it looks!
Props to the props themselves.
This bear stole my heart
That boston toy ballerina is perfect😢❤
I might be biased since Boston Ballet’s Nutcracker was the first version I ever saw live, but that bear will never NOT be iconic
I really like the addition of the mouse king as one of the toys! I feel sorry for whomever is in the Boston bear costume. They really can't see where they are.
Agreed.
Hi. I used to dance with the Boston Ballet, the face of the bear where the dancer sees is made of Tulle. So he/she can see.
The Berlin toys didn’t seem toy-like. The guy showed so much emotion.
Yeah, and I feel they could have used more doll-like makeup (such as bright rosy cheeks)
The Boston Bear is a beautiful comedian - - and I love the bear's side splits at @ 2.49. I appreciate all the other dancers - - too - - definitely. Merry Christmas DanceLine Ballet - - and to everyone❗
Ох уж эти штампы!!!Русский балет, русский медведь...забыли балалайку(((((
@@user-gu1tl9uy9lПри чём тут русский? Во всех этих Щелкунчиках действие происходит в Германии. А плюшевыми медведем дети во всех странах играют.
Especially loved the dancing bear!
seeing the bear from the boston ballet brought back so many memories for me. my grandparents took me to the ballet so many times as a kid, i’m super fortunate i got to experience the ballet.
Браво Бостонскому балету! Пластика игрушек впечатлила!
The only ones that are actually convincing as dolls are the first two dancers from the Baryshnikov version! They are amazing. But that said, the bear and the rat king are better choices for the 3rd dance, especially the bear lol
The bear is so genius, I love that ❤❤❤❤
Der Bär ist lustig. Aber der Ratten König aus Berlin ist der König 😍💐
Berlin kommt dem Original Ballett sehr Nah finde ich Wunderschön 🌹
All beautiful! How interesting that the most “modern” choreography is the 1977 Baryshnikov version. Gregory Osborne (harlequin), Rebecca Wright (doll), George de la Pena (moor). Trivia: the doll and the moor were married at some point.
The Baryshnikov version is almost a citation of Petrushka :D
I really hate the black face on that character. They should've just left him his original skin color
@@MeganAllen1738 yes - different times
@@MeganAllen1738 why don't you like racial diversity at this point?)
@user-kh7ey5hq5c it isn't racial diversity if it's black face
Прекрасно, здорово, браво!!! Игрушки - прелесть, а медведь просто необыкновенный!!! Очень красиво, а танцуют исполнители выше всяких похвал, спасибо!!!
Oh, to have been there with my young granddaughters !
Children will never forget seeing this splendid dance!
LOVE THE BOSTON BALLET. SAW THE NUTCRACKER (3) + TIMES IN THE BALCONY SEATS! THE BEST ONES AND ONCE ON THE FLOOR. I LIKE THE BALCONY, BEST!
The Bear 👀❤️🎯all the toy dancers just wonderful , I’m in love with the arts agin . Thank u
1:45 этот вариант исполнения впечатляет, создается впечатление, что кукла сейчас сломается напополам и голова отвалится. Невероятно.
Даже не могу определиться какие чувства вызвал у меня этот медведь.
Винни-Пух... КАК ТЫ ЭТО СДЕЛАЛ? Я тоже хочу такого мёда...
Бостон балет просто вау. Пересматриваю снова и снова.
All three versions were magnificent to me - each uniquely magical- thank you for posting!🩰🎄💕💚
Thanks so much for featuring my hometown ballet, Boston Ballet. A lot of these compilations leave them out for some reason.
They are a great company! Glad you enjoyed watching them too ❤️
I like the Berlin one better than the other two. They had better techniques and good choreography
#1 Boston Ballet.
Love Boston's I should go watch their show sometime
I like all three variations of the toys and now want to see all three whole ballets. The choreography is wonderful!
6:35 das Kostüm ist klasse ❤
Какое чудо! What a miracle🥰
Oh, the toy dances, something I really love to compare again and again all over the Nutcrackers! (;
It's fascinating that there are exactly these different traditions! Though, it's a pity that you didn't pick the Royal Ballet, as they have the original idea of the toy dances. It's mostly the third one which is done differently. Royal Ballet keeps the tradition of soldier and vivandiere - I really wonder, why it is changed mostly over the world ? Because it's too much wartime related?
Anyway, the Boston one is the most "appropriate/clean" one. Baryshnikov has the "moore", which is the Russian tradition, still kept at the Mariinsky. I got the idea (when I was watching it done in the Cuba Ballet release) that it was actually inspired from Petrushka - with the Harlequin and Colombine already - or was there a Russian tradition already established, which inspired Stravinsky? Because I also think that he was inspired by The Nutcracker....
And then, there is Staatsballett Berlin (which is a reconstruction of the costumes and set designs of the 1892 Nutcracker, but differs in the story a bit from the original). It's a clever idea to connect the original back story in The Nutcracker to explain the prince's enchantment (The story of the hard nut, featuring Princess Pirlipat, no actually, here it's kind of the Sugar Plum fairy, as Clara's later identity (;)
The Bolshoi Ballet uses devil and witch. And apart from that, I don't remember other ideas.
What I just want to point out, I really would love to stage a Nutcracker, in which it would be Tchaikovsly and his family at Kamenka, his nieces and nephews, and it would be the first family performance of Swan Lake (which is said to have existed as little home made ballet, according to Anna Davydova. I really wonder, if this could work in a special Nutcracker staging.....
The ABT/Baryshnikov toy dance reminds me of the ballet Petrushka
The female ballerina has the movements of a doll down. It's very convincing.
Très joli ! Merci pour ce partage !
Thank you for the enjoyable video and all the other videos throughout the year!! The toys are talented and fun to watch. Happy Holiday!!🎁💞❤❤
2:15 熊ちゃん登場🧸
boston #1
🖤🩰 It’s absolutely beautiful. Super impressive. Thankyou for sharing! 😊
Thank you SO much!
The toy dancer is Soobin Lee, Korean.
Majestuosamente hermoso
Kui eri nev lavastus!
i keep watching nutcracker videos 🤡 bc I missed it when they were showing the places 😟 after that I didn’t see anything after that 🙄bc my grandpa had a heart attack 😲so we had to leave fast so yeah ☺️
We're sorry 🙁 We have a full playlist with Nutcracker's best choreographies, check it out, you could enjoy it ✨🥰
Здорово! Дважды посмотрела
The first sequence they are showing is the one from Boston Ballet, right? Because I think I can see Joy Womack in the background at 1:46 approximately - the one on the far left in the grey Empire dress with the white applications. I thtink it must be her because she really makes all the efforts she can to "put herself out there" and be noticed even when playing a bit part. I remember she was with BB for some time, but only as an "artist" (which is their designation for a corps dancer) - must have been frustrating after having done only principal roles in Russia. (I'm saying this on account of a statement she makes in the trailer to her documentary, that once she'd done any soloist roles, she knew she "could never go back").
yeah it says it in the corner when the clip starts
... the beat can jump.
This is fantastic.
バレエってこの世で一番ごまかしのきかないエンターテイメントだと思いますね。
AMAZING❤
❤❤❤🐻❤❤❤
The bear that is 5++ ))
балет Берлин, понравились кукла и солдат
АБТ с Барышниковым- лучшие в этой подборке. Берлинские танцовщики-ужас просто. Балерина-кукла из Бостонского театра сыграла шедеврально
熊が踊ってる!🐻
I just performed Columbine for the last time a little over a week ago so now it's time to reminisce
Not to be disrespectful, but I don't know how to appreciate the second version. It feels messy and "over" to me, but Boston and Berlin Ballet are just amazing. Boston ballet is nothing, but perfect and the Mouse king... ...exquisite!
Can you please tell me if all 3 of the variations of the Nutcracker ballets have all Claras or all Maries in them?
😊😊😊😊
Me da nostalgia por q yo baile muñeca de ballet😞👊
I feel bad for that bear lol.
6:04 they have painted this man's face brown.
Besides obvious reasons, the fact he looks like he was dipped in chocolate is very uncanny.
the Boston version gets my vote - but not sure about the bear.
Oh no, not the blackface 🙈 thank you for the documentation though. Every Ballet company nowadays is acting like they're so diverse and inclusive and whitewashing their past, and it's important to keep records of these things.
Why are you assuming it was blackface? Look at the clothing of the dancer. The turban is mainly worn in India, Northern Africa, Turkey, Russia as well as some places in Asia. Aside from the far east, all the places mentioned are caucasians. India in particular is caucasoid.
So no insults were going on in Baryshnikov's ballet.
You're right it's not "Black" face. It's "Brown" face. The issue here is that this is obviously a white person in dark makeup meant to represent a different ethnic group. Just because there was no ill intent in their actions and it wasn't specifically meant to be "insulting" doesn't mean that it isn't problematic or offensive.
@@Kitefel The person is representing a doll not a human being. The color could be unpainted wood since it is a doll.
If you keep finding offense in everything, pretty soon you will be in a mao suit burning books and putting people in education camps for liking Mikhail Baryshnikov's Nutcracker.
@@kerrytakashi12 So first you admitted that the dancer was meant to represent a particular culture based on his costume, and now you're back-pedaling to this absurd excuse that he's actually meant to be made of wood. That's a ridiculous assertion and you know it. Especially because the entire second act of the Nutcracker is famous for its representation of different cultures based on their costumes, and it has a history of depicting brown face and yellow face. It's pretty clear that the one who is offended here is you, offended that anyone would suggest any malintent in Baryshnikov's work which you seem to admire so much, to the point that you will distort reality just to excuse blatant racist actions.
Also if you'd bother to read my original comment in good faith, you'd see that I specifically said that it was important to document these kinds of things, not "burn" them. It's ironic that you're caricaturing ME as a Nazi when you're the one bending over backwards to defend an obvious act of racism.
But to be clear. I'm not saying Baryshnikov himself is racist. Just that doing brown face is racist and bad.
The girl doll was painted white...
The bear the best
The Berliner Staatsballett could have simply taken a bear this year. It could be so easy...
And take the divertissement as SWEETS not nations. And use real dark-skinned dancers if they employ some for the Arapchata - as far as i know it's nothing offensive for a black dancer to put on some bright silky costume and make a festive dance. Turn it into a place for them in the world of classical ballet where allow them to use their culture to design the costumes, to show off with curly hairstyles, there definitely must be some colourful turbans, some braids and some African ornaments, etc. xix century Russians found them fun and amusing, nothing of second sort or woth hate. They tended to work as amusers (if later times considered - PAID ones)at different events, and made the classical composers feel happy, so that's why they were putting them in balleys
i don’t think the mouse king is supposed to be blackface. it is supposed to be black like the rat’s fur.
@@keyaunna. the mouse king isn't blackface (you can make it obviously gray!). Moreover, when they stage Evil Rats (not only in nutcracker) they often draw parallels (inobvious ones) to nazi and that works perfectly if the simularitirs are humble enough. Nazi grey clearly isn't black, and "as bad as nazi" isn't racially offensive.
Arapchata and the Mavr doll are blackface traditionally... It's the only way to portray blacks when the troupe has fair skin. If you have black dancers - you don't need to fake them anymore.
Kinda hurts me that the 3rd dance in the ABT is basically a minstrel dance in blackface :( I liked the others
I was abt to say the same thing :(
There’s a huge difference from pretending to be African-American and being an animal that is black coloured it is not black face in a race way
@@Bibblesupremacy1992 Thayer were not referring to the rat king they were referring to the “Arabian” dancer in brown face, but I understand your confusion
Also the doll was supposed to look like a geisha but when you look closely she is not an Asian woman. I don’t understand the need to incorporate “exotic” people as the toys especially if you’re just going to paint over someone else’s face to portray that
You have apparently never seen a black minstrel show. This is a DOLL in arab/indian/south russian region. certainly NOT black minstrel.
Я очень рада, что танцор в костюме медведя остался в живых после исполнения номера😂.
👏🎄🐯
Why did I think the bear in the thumbnail was Inosuke from demon slayer-
Berlin
Кукла♡♡♡
Бостонский вариант более...модернистский? Какой-то больше театральный и хорого справляется с тем чтоб публику развлечь(это не плохо). Барышников ну это одна эстетика, а Берлинская больше традиционная и техничная и еще с драмой. Все вариации хороши👏
1) ABT
2) Berlin
3) Boston
yo viendo ballet con mi novia en la noche que hermoso esto aun que nadie me entienda solo mi novia preciosa mi futura bailara hermosa
4:48 Is she a real dancer or a doll? I can't tell.
:( a lot of these dancer (ABT, aren't around anymore)
Барышников это искусство. А некоторые моменты в бостонском варианте балета больше похожи на спортивную гимнастику, извините.
А где он был?
That was just a small portion of the longer film. Brilliant IMO.
Во Медведь дал жару!!!

Beat 2:20
The BEAR dancing. Once upon a time I was in community theater and had to walk across the stage in a bear costume. THIS WAS NOT EASY. There was tripping and bumping into people and scenery. So please believe me when I exclaim: The dancer in the bear costume is BETTER than Baryshnikov.
2:13
Love Berlin, 2nd Boston and ABT ???
Bear
В Бостоне, Щелкунчика, я бы пропустил. Движения слишком вычурные, резкие. На сцене танцуют не реп-балет. Не для меня это)
Лучше Щелкунчика Григоровича нет ни одной постановки. Итак, как танцевали Васильев и Максимова, никто не станцует, разве только Цискаридзе и Воронцова. Наши - лучшие!!!!
Какое "патриотическое" безумие...
@@amneris78 а вам, видимо, нечего сказать и написать фамилии не можете? Так и напишите : жаба душит. Понимаю и даже сочувствую А фамилии напишите??? Или нетути???
Посмотрите постановку сэра Питера Райта. Но. похоже, у вас патриотические шоры на глазах. Я давно не считаю "наших" лучшими. Мир балета велик и многообразен- и хорошо, что "Щелкунчик" живет и развивается. Тем более, что в данном ролике сравниваются разные версии определенной сцены с игрушками, а вы почему-то выкрикиваете имена солистов, которые в ней не участвуют. Как-то нелогично.
В этом году у нас в Новате (Новосибирск) Щелкунчик постановка Григоровича, перед новым годом билеты сразу все раскупили, из Москвы даже приезжали посмотреть, очень хвалили. Я ещё не смотрела, пойдём всей семьёй в феврале.
Some of these are really creepy and weird
Tip toeing should be banned. You should only raise yourself to the balls of the feet not tip of the toes, just the same way my son ball-toes.
Блеска не хватает и уважения к логосу хореографии . Спортивность в сугубо художественных костюмах ... не убедительна и не адекватна художественной музыке , но в прекрасной музыке есть ключ к прекрасной пластике и движениям . Не очевидна "школа" . А в "школе" есть ключ к успеху в этом прекрасном музыкальном празднике .

вы тоже пришли посмотреть как в очередной раз русские обсирают ЛЮБОЙ балет не российский потому что РАСЕЯ ЛУЧЕ?
позорище не комментаторы. а балет прикольный. Игрушки и правда выглядят как игрушки, я даже словила немного эффект зловещей долины на моменте с балериной
The second guy is in blackface absolutely disgusting
Don't be silly

@@Bibblesupremacy1992 So you're saying Arabs are animals? Not what I was expecting...
@@TheMister123 I didnt mean the bear I meant the third guy with the three people he’s in black face
@@Bibblesupremacy1992 I didn’t mean the bear 🤦🏽♀️ I meant trio (third performance) he’s in black face 3:46
Tupac Shakur pops out of his box at 00:17 seconds. Watch him start giving it large, proper having it thug style mind….. have a look 👀
