Es curioso cómo alguien puede tener una idea completamente diferente de lo que está a punto de leer, y que al terminar esa idea sea sustituida por otra, de cierta forma, mejor construida y elaborada de la que se tenía en mente. Esto justo me pasó al leer Historia de un cascanueces, una adaptación hecha por Alexandre Dumas del clásico cuento de Hoffmann, y que además fue su historia —y no la de Hoffmann como yo creía— la que se tomó para ser adaptada a su vez en el ballet en dos actos compuesto por Chaikovski. Below is a synopsis based on the original 1892 libretto by Marius Petipa. The story varies from production to production, though most follow the basic outline. The names of the characters also vary. In the original Hoffmann story, the young heroine is called Marie Stahlbaum and Clara (Klärchen) is her doll's name. In the adaptation by Dumas on which Petipa based his libretto, her name is Marie Silberhaus. [5] In still other productions, such as Baryshnikov's, Clara is Clara Stahlbaum rather than Clara Silberhaus. Like many writers of his day, Hoffmann is verbose, and his characters are prone to melodramatic exclamations that would sound over-the-top from anyone, but especially from a seven-year-old girl and a boy of about twelve. Our author often seems to forget just how young his main characters are, and apparently he doesn't see anything creepy about a marriage between a groom of about thirteen and an eight-year-old bride. Huh boy.

In 2019, Mariah Carey released a normal and an a cappella version of 'Sugar Plum Fairy' entitled the 'Sugar Plum Fairy Introlude' to open and close her 25th Deluxe Anniversary Edition of Merry Christmas. [62] The illustrations were good, but not good enough to make me swoon. The story was not quite to my taste and, in fact, a bit weird. If Marie was only seven at the beginning, how did she get betrothed at the end? She would have been eight by the time they got married.Archived copy" (PDF).

Tchaikovsky hoped that the children would play the instruments on the stage, but they had difficulty keeping together with the orchestra. Because of the difficulty the children had, Tchaikovsky made the decision that they could play freely. He did not ask them to keep with the written music. After the first night, Tchaikovsky sent his thanks and baskets of sweets to the children of the Imperial Ballet School.

I'm not a fan of Where the Wild Things Are, and I wasn't too impressed with Sendak's weird Labyrinth-like tale, Outside Over There (because there was no Jareth in it, obviously). But I wanted to read this version because Auntie J said it was the best version ever. I will also admit that this book creeped me out in the beginning when they were describing the sharp little teeth. Lol, I know I can make a horror movie out of anything.

Since Gorsky, Vainonen and Balanchine's productions, many other choreographers have made their own versions. Some institute the changes made by Gorsky and Vainonen while others, like Balanchine, utilize the original libretto. Some notable productions include Rudolf Nureyev's 1963 production for the Royal Ballet, Yury Grigorovich for the Bolshoi Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov for the American Ballet Theatre, Fernand Nault for Les Grands Ballets Canadiens starting in 1964, Kent Stowell for Pacific Northwest Ballet starting in 1983, and Peter Wright for the Royal Ballet and the Birmingham Royal Ballet. In recent years, revisionist productions, including those by Mark Morris, Matthew Bourne, and Mikhail Chemiakin have appeared; these depart radically from both the original 1892 libretto and Vainonen's revival, while Maurice Béjart's version completely discards the original plot and characters. In addition to annual live stagings of the work, many productions have also been televised or released on home video. [1] Roles [ edit ] In the original libretto, the ballet's apotheosis "represents a large beehive with flying bees, closely guarding their riches". [37] Just like Swan Lake, there have been various alternative endings created in productions subsequent to the original. A whimsical tale of a girl (Georgie) who has dreamt of being Clara since seeing the ballet with her grandfather, at the age of five. When Georgie finally gets the part she is quite literally swept up into the story. The line between what is real and what isn’t gets blurred as Georgie is immersed in the ballet.Una historia que ha sido de inmensa influencia, así también como su autor.
