\u201cMOTHER GINGER\u201d KNOWS BEST<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An audience member might be surprised when this bizarre character creation in recent productions of <\/span>THE NUTCRACKER<\/i><\/b> lifts \u201cher\u201d skirt in the <\/span>Kingdom of Sweets<\/b> onstage during the <\/span>American Ballet Theatre<\/b> (ABT)<\/b> production playing now in <\/span>Orange County<\/b>\u2019s <\/span>Segerstrom Hall<\/b> thru December 19<\/b>. The moment counts as one of many in <\/span>Alexei Ratmansky<\/b>\u2019s version of this revered classical ballet surely guaranteed to astonish families making the annual pilgrimage in order to dip their toes in the magic and wonderment that this ballet engenders during the Christmas season (especially<\/span> this particular <\/b>season).<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, if you treasure <\/span>THE NUTCRACKER<\/i><\/b> from year to year on a variety of stages, you already know that the story, characters and stagings often differ from one production to another. Who is \u201c<\/span>Drosselmeye<\/span><\/i>r\u201d, for example\u2026an uncle, a toymaker, a magician, or a godfather? Or for that matter, is \u201c<\/span>Clara<\/span><\/i>\u201d a child with an active imagination, a princess or a \u201cSugar Plum Fairy\u201d?\u00a0 What is a constant, though, is <\/span>Tchaikovsky<\/b>\u2019s ravishing score featuring gems such as \u201c<\/span>Waltz of<\/span><\/i> t<\/span>he Snowflakes<\/span><\/i>\u201d, \u201d<\/span>Waltz of the Flowers<\/span><\/i>\u201d and \u201c<\/span>Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy<\/span><\/i>\u201d (a part of the brilliant <\/span>Grande Pas de Deux <\/span><\/i>for the<\/span> Cavalier <\/span><\/i>and the<\/span> Princess<\/span><\/i>). One is sure to recognize the strains of these evocative melodies whether played on a piano or by an orchestra the likes of the <\/span>Pacific Symphony<\/b> as is the case with this production.<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>Choreographer<\/b>, a journeyman from the famed <\/span>Bolshoi Theatre<\/b> in <\/span>Moscow (now ABT\u2019s Artist-In-Residence)<\/b>, decided to fashion the ballet with the focus of a young girl who sees herself evolving into an adult princess ballerina.\u00a0 That provides inspiration for choices in his staging, but also presents opportunities for the<\/span> principal<\/span><\/i> dancers to embrace the youthful energy and \u201c<\/span>joie de vivre<\/span><\/i>\u201d in their own performances. And that they do! Both <\/span>Hee Seo<\/b> and <\/span>Cory Stearns<\/b> more than meet the moment.\u00a0 In fact, \u201c<\/span>sympatico<\/span><\/i>\u201d captures the essence of their pairing. The ballerina embodies delicacy in her every gesture and floats through the air – a wisp of suredness and beauty as in the journey of a hummingbird. By her side, the <\/span>Cavalier<\/span><\/i> (or <\/span>Prince<\/span><\/i> if you will) evokes the stalwart nature of a gallant partner – devoted, powerful and resolute while willing to hoist her to the heights where she belongs (and does so – actually – with several thrilling lifts in his repertoire ever at the ready).<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, <\/span>Mr. Ratmansky<\/b> plugs in quite a few alterations to the traditional retelling of the original <\/span>E.T.A. Hoffmann<\/b>\u2019s fantastical story \u201c<\/span>The Nutcracker and the Mouse King<\/i><\/b>\u201d, but his artistic concept dictated these changes. Notably, his addition of the kitchen scene as the ballet opens sets the tone for the playful adventures to come and humanizes the <\/span>Stahlbaum<\/b> household as well. Not only that, the larger role for the mice excited the youngsters in the audience as evidenced by their shrieks of hilarity. And the youngest mouse deserves singular acclaim; he\u2019s (or she\u2019s) a funmeister for sure!\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Another significant change involved the tone of the <\/span>Land of the Snow<\/b> experience for <\/span>Clara<\/span><\/i> and the<\/span> young Prince<\/span><\/i>. The snowfall in this version gradually becomes more threatening to the youngsters and the <\/span>Corps de Ballet<\/b> become one with the ever worsening chaotic conditions threatening the duo on their journey. Ultimately, <\/span>Drosselmeyer<\/span><\/i> arrives on the scene with a sleigh to guide the terrified duo to a new land before intermission just as the <\/span>Snowflakes<\/b>\u2026 (Sorry, <\/span>no<\/span><\/i> spoiler here<\/span><\/i>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

That is not to say that all of the alterations proved successful.\u00a0 For example, this critic found the revised role for the <\/span>Sugar Plum Fairy<\/span><\/i> to be totally unsatisfying.\u00a0 Likewise, the opening choreography for Act II seemed confusing and a bit stultifying for my taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bravo for the international dances in the <\/span>Kingdom of Sweets<\/b> (or Land of the Sugar Plum<\/strong> Fairy<\/strong>) which were a tribute to the daring exploits of <\/span>Clara<\/span><\/i>. All of them boasted unique treats which resulted in sugary excess. Count this guy a fan of the <\/span>Arabian<\/span><\/i> dance with its eventual descent into bedlam as the harem of four ladies turns the table on their bald-pated companion. In addition, the <\/span>Chinese<\/span><\/i> duo\u2019s verve positively frolicked\u2026.almost with a <\/span>Vaudeville<\/span><\/i> flair (thinking <\/span>George M. Cohan<\/span><\/i> with a mandarin bent). Less folksy were the <\/span>Cossacks<\/span><\/i> of <\/span>Russia<\/span><\/i> and that may not be a disappointment given their antics. Certainly the <\/span>Spanish<\/span><\/i> couples met expectations, too. Only the sisters involved in the marzipan segment appeared to be underwhelming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u201c<\/span>Waltz of the Flowers<\/span><\/i>\u201d blossomed with this choreographer\u2019s vision. Oh, and the addition of the four spirited, <\/span>tuxedoed bees<\/span><\/i> enlivened this dance in an extraordinary way. The audience certainly celebrated the tossing of each and every “flower” by these guys who, by the way, were sporting some amusing, dangling stingers. These danseurs created quite the buzz!<\/span><\/p>\n

Deserving of accolades are the <\/span>children<\/b> in this production as well.\u00a0 <\/span>Clara<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Fritz<\/span><\/i> and the <\/span>Nutcracker<\/span><\/i> toy-turned-<\/span>young Prince<\/span><\/i> lead the way with disciplined performances. The “<\/span>Galop”, <\/span><\/i>as<\/span> executed by the<\/span> children\u2019s ensemble, <\/span><\/i>registered charming as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the technical credits, <\/span>Jennifer Tipton<\/b>, as always, delivers crisp lighting accents, shadowy effects and affability in high doses. In the same vein, <\/span>Richard Hudson<\/b> absolutely nails the <\/span>costume<\/b> design elements, yet falls short on a few<\/span> scenic<\/b> chores including the evolution of Christmas decor in the Stahlbaum<\/strong> home and some disappointing framing aspects of the Kingdom of Sweets<\/em>, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> Pacific Symphony<\/b>, under the baton of <\/span>ABT Music Director Ormsby Wilkins<\/b> on <\/span>Opening<\/span><\/i> Night<\/span><\/i>, explored the intricacies of <\/span>Tchaikovsky<\/b>\u2019s musical score in support of the dancers. Precision and purity of sound ruled the evening\u2019s musical through-line. Consequently, the audience offered rapturous applause for the musicians\u2019 enormous contributions when the <\/span>Conductor<\/b> joined the dancers at \u201cBows<\/em>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The child in all of us deserves to annually bear witness to the beauty of <\/span>THE NUTCRACKER<\/i><\/b>. In this professional iteration, a rotating roster of<\/span> ABT<\/b> stars will lead future performances of this ballet classic, reviving Christmas cheer while demonstrating the expertise of one of the world\u2019s greatest ballet companies. <\/span>Costa Mesa<\/b> can certainly be proud to host the<\/span> American Ballet Theatre<\/b> once again. Be advised, friends, “<\/span>Mother Ginger<\/i><\/b>“<\/i> promises a bevy of surprises along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n
