Christmas time….
I love Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, love the story, characters and amazing different music from the different scene…
I love The Red shoes the film in 1948 !! didn’t realize that old, but never get old every year I see on TV!!
I watched Matthew Bourne’s production The Red Shoes was amazing!! So much details of performance and costumes…

Nutcracker in the English National Opera is available online for free for difficult year!
Performance are fantastic and all sets and everything is fab, but I admit, that is all I can say….
I was strucked by the performance in London sometime in 1998,9,2000 something like that….
I think it was at the Coliseum in London, or was it Sadller’s wells?? but anyway, the venue wasn’t main memory,
but her strong performance was sooooo present.
From the beginning of the performance gave me all my hair stood….
Even the music was the background for her performance…
After seeing her interview, I understood why her performance was so strong and nutcracker was not getting any emotional sensations…
She is dancing all woman natural woman and natural and unnatural human in her body….Truly amazing performer Sylvie Guillem is…
I am sure she will be showing some amazing performance somehow and someway in the future…
