The Nutcracker Ballet
We were captivated from beginning to end of this fantastic performance, feeling as if we were swept into the heart of the story. Congratulations to the Varna International Ballet company for their creativity & professionalism. So much talent indeed!!! This was definitely a show suitable for the family to see & equally suitable for couples, friends, or for going solo. The performance was held in The Playhouse in Edinburgh - a lovely, central location which was easy to get to. We were situated in the stalls, row Y, where we had an excellent view & could hear very well. The seats were comfy enough for the amount of time spent sitting & refreshments were available. I would definitely recommend!
Fabulous, we loved every minute
Wonderful costumes; sets and uplifting music. The dancing was excellent and our whole party loved every minute
A wonderful afternoon out
Saw the Nutcracker this afternoon and loved it. Orchestra were brilliant and some wonderful dances. Highlight was the snowflakes.
Enchanting production with a novel Christmassy flavour.
Seen at Oxford New Theatre the small stage was a challenge to contain all the action. So much to take in including an animated backdrop. The costumes were stunning and imaginative. Gret performance from the percussionist who was also page turning for the keyboard nearby. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon
No sugar plum fairy
Lovely ballet,costumes,and orchestra,but no sugar plum fairy. Try explaining that to a bunch of kids that you have just read the story to before going,then telling them that she was not in it? That’s the highlight of the nutcracker.
Oddest joyless performance
This was a horrid interpretation of the nutcracker with a cheap feel to the costumes & set. The blurry animations felt tired not nostalgic and some core parts of the ballet missing. Was telling the orchestra got a bigger applause than the principal dancers.
