Customer Reviews of Nutcracker: The Story of Clara
A new approach I enjoy and replay two of the Australian ballet videos. Their "Coppelia" is one and this is the other. It has a new story line which does not resemble the traditional tale, except in being set at Christmas time and making some use of a few old items such as the rats. The new story, set in Australia, makes the heroine into an elderly Russian immigrant. Her Christmas party causes her collapse and she dreams of her past life. Three dancers dance her role, showing her as a girl, a successful ballerina, and an old woman.
There are many technically good performances and many roles are presented with real feeling. The heroine as a young woman in love has some particularly successful choreography. The story, though new, is easy to follow. The video version is well lit and camera angles have been well edited.
I enjoy watching this tape again every year and I would heartily recommend it to anyone prepared to accept a new plot set against the familiar music. If you want a traditional Nutcracker, this isn't one, but it is well worth seeing in its own right. I'd love to see it danced by other companies besides the Australian.
