In Estonia, we have exactly same Nutcracker. :) Same costumes, same choreography.

Är det här DVDn från 1998 eller en nyare filmning? Snöflingsdrottningen (i brist på bättre rolltitel) ser inte ut som Eva Nissen, men det ser ut som Madeleine Onne och Johannes Öhman som pepparkakorna? Och vilka gör Husan och Kolaren? Marie L och Jan-Erik????

They have put two different stories in one and the same ballet. :D The nutcracker VS. a old, tale that is popular in Sweden, don't know if it is popular outside my country. ;)

Sorry, but it's choreographically trite. I've seen regional productions with more originality and challenge. I'm all for trying something new, but if you're going to do something different, for goodness sake, so something different! Look at NYCB's, PNB's, SFB's, even the Royal Ballet's, all "traditional" but all so choreographically intelligent. So many people try to make "Nutcracker" into something it simply is not.

Oh, those poor people having to suffer through this travesty!

@gsm212121 what u talking about?

[zeptemer]

When I was a kid I always went to the opera together with my mom and watched this as a christmas treat. I thought it was fantastic!

Now when I haven't seen this for a couple of years, I realise how bad the Swedish Opera is compared to other ballet companies.

What are all these songs called?

[lavendermtn]

Do you really think this troupe is good? Check them out from around 30 to around 40 - not together at all. Very poor. But colorful and original costumes.

[tedsler]

@balletgirlthatrulz I love this nutcracker cos it is based on a very wellknown swedish authors child book characters, turned into the nutcracker story. we danced with the company while students at the ballet school in stockholm and it was a dream come true :))
