Choreography John Neumeier. Music Peter I. Tschaikowsky.
Duration est. 2 hours 20 minutes
In his atmospheric, poetic ballet, which he created in 1971 during his time as Ballet Director in Frankfurt, John Neumeier recounts E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fairytale of The Nutcracker and The Mouse King somewhat differently. Marie is still a child, but having to be an adult has already arrived for her. And so she begins to explore the possibilities life has in store for her. Throughout the piece Marie begins to realise that in dreams at least, everything is possible and that we can also take a lot for our life from our dreams. Mr Drosselmeier puts the key to this inspiration in her hand (or is it the great choreographer, Marius Petipa? Who knows!). He whisks Marie away to a fascinating world, where she meets the key figures of grand ballet and to whose charm and fascination she succumbs – as do all viewers along with her.
