The Nutcracker, based on the German writer Hoffmann's fairy tale The Nutcracker and the Rat King, was Tchaikovsky's late major work, premiered in 1892. The music of the dance drama is full of simple and mysterious mythological colors, with strong children's music characteristics
The music of "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy" is famous for Tchaikovsky's use of the celestian lead, which was invented at the time. On the melodious accompaniment of the harp, the charming steel celeste plays a gentle melody, indicating the arrival of the gentle and beautiful sugar plum fairy. This piece is very special, because Tchaikovsky applied a bright-sounding steel celado as the protagonist of this piece, this instrument is the first time to be used in musical works, the light sound, like the slender figure of the beautiful sugar plum fairy, dancing happily, weaving a fantastic world, giving people unlimited imagination space.
Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Principal Nina Kaptsova performed the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", her performance gives people a special sense of delicacy, even the fingertips are drama when dancing, from every look can see the character of this character, technically there is nothing to be picky about, overall is particularly exquisite! I especially like her wrist, her wrist is extremely flexible, others show off the skills are circle jump or toughness, she is using her wrist in the show ah, plus her excellent footwork, dancing clean and neat. And her showmanship always blends well with the character and doesn't seem to be visible.
Her smile on the stage is really healing, the performance of the aura, the solid technology, the sweet and lovely shape, the great stage set and choreography in the match, as if coming out of a fairy tale. People can't help but sigh: Is this really a fairy? Yes, this is the fairy Ben Xian!
