## Description

The "Nutcracker" remains one of the most popular ballets ever with Tchaikovsky's luscious score annotating the fantasy and enchantment of the tale. Vasily Medvedev and Yuri Burlaka, two Russian choreographers have developed a version for the Staatsballett Berlin which is based on the historic stage designs and choreography from the original of 1892. This glittering production was designed as a reproduction of the great ballet féerie, an older form of French theater which includes opulent scenery and mechanically worked stage effects. With the Orchestra of the Deutsch Opera, Berlin conducted by Robert Reimer. Available in DVD.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A production that's lacking in sparkle and magic...
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015*

An odd production - I was expecting more from the Deutsche Oper Belin and the Staatsballett Berlin, but the production didn't gel for me.  Some specific points: the tempos are *quite* slow - and that is comparative to other Nutcrackers I've seen, such as the San Francisco, and Royal Ballet versions - slow to the point of dragging; the design is also somewhat drab - with the woman's outfits superb, but the male costumes are bad to the point of absurdity, with polka dots and stripes and eye-cringing color combinations.  The backdrops are incredibly detailed, with the Candy kingdom and other scenes vivid and wonderful.  The dancing is fine, but nothing struck me as spectacular; there are some odd choices for the libretto, with the Rat King being cast as one of Drosselmeyer's dancing dolls, and nothing in the way of prologue.  Another sticking point is Drosselmeyer's magic tricks, which are rather pedestrian and hackneyed.  All in all, a workmanlike production that failed to produce any wonder or magic.

    Great concept, mediocre dancing
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017*

This Nutcracker was an ambitious project -- Yuri Burlake attempted recreation of the 1892 Petipa/Ivanov production. Sets, costumes, and choreography were supposed to adhere to the 1892 production as much as possible. And you can see the result of the research -- the costumes and sets are indeed full of period detail, while the choreography has aspects that you can see Balanchine, or Sir Peter Wright picked up. For instance, the Candy Cane hoop variation is something Balanchine preserved in his version. The Waltz of the Flowers was the eye opener -- both male and female flowers dancing together. This is a wonderful concept and Burlaka deserves credit for his efforts.However, the Berlin Ballet's performance is invariably sluggish and uninspired. For example, in the Snow Scene, the music and the dancing is at such a ponderous level that you lose all sense of the "blizzard" pattern that Ivanov created with the snowflakes. The Candy Cane variation is also danced so slowly that the thrill of jumping through the hoops is gone. Also, it seems as if Burlaka was unwilling to make Clara/Prince child roles, so Iana Salenko and Marian Walter take over the second act as the adult Clara and Prince and once again, the Sugarplum Fairy role is deleted. Salenko and Walter are fine dancers. This ignores the 1892 storyline and structure of the ballet, which was decidedly NOT a love story, but rather a child's fantasy. In the end, this video is a document of an extremely noble ambition (restoring the 1892 Nut) but with unfulfilling results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent performance
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015*

On this new DVD from Belair Tchaikovsky's beloved "Nutcracker" ballet receives a splendid performance from the Berlin State Ballet Company with Marian Walter as the Prince and Iana Selenko as Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy. The orchestra plays well under its conductor Robert Reimer, the dancing is excellent, the scenery is good, though I am sure that it would have been even more lavish if more had been spent on it, and the audience was well-behaved. I have only one minor criticism: I find it odd that Iana Selenko performed the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy without a change of costume from her role as Clara. I suppose that there is no reason why Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy should not be danced by the same protagonist, but the sudden appearance of Iana Selenko, still dressed as Clara but now dancing to the music that always accompanies the Sugar Plum Fairy, was initially confusing. If this strange anomaly doesn’t put you off, the rest of the performance should give you much pleasure.Ted Wilks
