Ballet in three acts (1985)
Celebrate Christmas in July with Rudolf Nureyevs Paris Opera Ballet reinterpretation of The Nutcracker. Snowflakes, flowers and enchanted landscapes form the backdrop to a dazzling choreography, with sets and costumes emphasising the strangeness of E.T.A. Hoffmans original 1816 tale that inspired Marius Petipa's 1892 ballet. One Christmas Eve, young Clara (Dorothe Gilbert) receives a nutcracker puppet and dreams of a fantasy world where toys and anxieties come alive. Guided by the wooden puppet who has become Prince Charming (Guillaume Diop), she bravely confronts her fears and desires in a tale of self-discovery, brought to life through Tchaikovsky's sparkling, colourful score.
