Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
«The Nutcracker»
ballet in 2 acts
libretto and choreography of V. Vainonen, Honored Artist of Russia
according to the tale of E. Hoffman, as amended by the People's Artist of the Republic of Kazakhstan G. Tutkibaeva
In his last ballet, Tchaikovsky addresses the same theme that was embodied in «Swan Lake» and «The Sleeping Beauty»- overcoming evil spells by the power of love.
«The Nutcracker» is a perfect artistic phenomenon: a symphony about childhood. No, or rather, when childhood is at a turning point. When the hopes of an still unknown youth are already worried ... When dreams draw thoughts and feelings forward, and unconscious - only foreboding “It’s as if the walls of the children's room are moving apart and the thought-dream of the heroine and hero breaks out into the fresh expanse - into the forest, nature, towards the winds, blizzard, further to the stars and into the pink sea of hopes.”
(B. Asafiev)
The composer finds vivid expressive means for depicting two worlds juxtaposed in «The Nutcracker»: a world of cozy burgher life and a mysteriously attractive, enchanting or frightening and gloomyly bewitching fantasy world. With the onset of night, the mysterious world of miracles comes to life and everything around appears in an unusual, disturbing imagination light.
