Review of Pyotr Tchaikovsky Ballet 'The Nutcracker' 2012 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg (2012) by Samantha S — 19 Dec 2012
I love Russia, the Russian ballet, the language. the culture... but I am not a fan of this Nutcracker. Having performed in 17 Nutcrackers and having seem many different versions-this is by far my least favorite.
The costuming and story alone I find odd and confusing. The dancing beautiful- you can't expect anything less from the Mariinsky. But I simply am not a fan of the the way they tell this beloved story.
