In
The Nutcracker, one of the worlds loveliest Christmas tales,
there is an indistinct line between reality and dreams. Tchaikovskys
legendary ballet is being restaged at the GNO, for a run of 15
performances, by Renato Zanella, whose impressive choreography is based
on the original story by E.T.A. Hoffmann,
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. In the ballets second act, Zanella further uses a part of the music from the Overture-Fantasia of Tchaikovskys
Romeo and Juliet.
In the GNO Ballets production, which was staged for five sold-out
performances in the 2012-13 season, the choreography focuses on the
dream of Clara, presenting it as a dramatic transition into adulthood
through love and fear. The distinguished German set and costume designer
Christof Cremer has created dreamy sets and costumes for the
production, evoking an atmosphere that lives up to the descriptions of
the famous fairytale.
