Proof that I'm still 5 years old
Dec. 22nd, 2007 05:51 pmI <3 the Nutcracker
Just saw the Moscow Ballet Company perform it, and it was gorgeous/adorable. The backdrops were beautiful, and the dancers were incredibly skilled and made their dances seem effortless. There were also these little kids who were a sort of backdrop to the dances from time to time (my mom told me those are from the USA and train for around a half year before performing with the actual company), and while they weren’t the best dancers, they were really cute.
My favorite part was most definitely during the second half, when all the different toys do their dances. Those were so much fun, and during a few of them, there was this little girl in the audience who started dancing, just twirling and bouncing in the audience. And seeing various people dressed up in ridiculous fuzzy masks (i.e. wolf, elephant, deer) in the background for some of those made me crack up.
I was grinning for about an hour straight watching the second half of the ballet; it was fantastic.
I love me the Nutcracker. Now I just need the soundtrack (because the songs are, apparently, EVERYWHERE; I knew half the music without even knowing much of anything about the ballet). :)
Ta mates! Hope your day was great too!
