CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: For a work that has been so popular for so long, The Nutcracker started out on shaky ground and took time to find an appreciative audience. Following its Saint Petersburg premiere in 1892, critics hurled invective such as “insipid,” “lopsided,” “ponderous” and “disorderly” at the production. Italian prima ballerina Antonietta Dell'Era, as the Sugar Plum Fairy, was deemed “podgy.” Never mind. Tchaikovsky's score has since become one of the Russian’s most famous compositions, following close on the heels of Swan Lake (1876) and The Sleeping Beauty (1889). Based on the original book by E.T.A. Hoffmann, the Atlanta Ballet’s current version, first presented in 2018, features “innovative production (with) larger-than-life sets and bold costumes enhanced by striking video projections,” says ArtsATL. “Layered with imagery and so packed with visual details, it’s impossible to take it all in at once.” Choreography is by former Bolshoi principal dancer Yuri Possokhov, who previously staged Classical Symphony, Firebird and Don Quixote for the Atlanta Ballet’s repertoire. — KCM
From the venue:
Atlanta Ballet will return to the Cobb Energy Centre stage with it's groundbreaking production of The Nutcracker.
Described as "layered with imagery and so packed with visual details, it's impossible to take it all in at once: Audiences can return year after year and make new discoveries" by ArtsAtl, this innovative production features larger than life sets and bold costumes enhanced by striking video projections.
