Surpassed expectations. Choreography, staging, sets, music, dancers (young and old!)--all made for a beautiful performance.
My seven year old daughter and myself had great seats for the Sat. matinee and just loved it. It inspired my daughter so much that she preformed a dance for the guests at our Christmas party at home that we had later on that evening - so sweet. We loved the dancers and it was magical when it snowed.
The hired photographer snapping away from the control room area was loud and annoying. The click of his camera shutter every other second was easily heard over the orchestra, and I could see people ahead of me look over in annoyance from time to time -- so I definitely was not alone. He should photograph the rehearsal then get lost!
This is a wonderful Nutcracker production. The music is beautiful. The dancers are very professional, I enjoyed a lot and we'll watch it again.I highly recommended.
The best version of the Nutcracker I've seen, and I've seen many. Classic, funny, and very memorable. Thank you so much.
Saw it last year & was delighted. This year met all expectations!! Will go again next year.
The performances were outstanding - beautiful costumes and staging. The presentation created a warm, friendly atmosphere and made the audience feel a part of the story. Congratulations Goh Ballet - very, very well done!
I've seen it twice and it gets better with each performance. Moving and perfect all at the same time. Well done.
Excellent performance, costumes and sets. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment .
This ballet was just excellent. I have seen it in past years and I feel like they carefully considered crowd response, stage fx, choreography, etc. and fine tuned accordingly to give us perfection this year. Of course the dancing and magic tricks have been top notch every time.
What a magical performance! It took me into the wonder and joy of a child experiencing this dream of toys, mice, candies coming to life. The dancing, set design, costumes, coreography - are all so well done.
MUST GO and experience it yourself! It was a great show
The National Ballet of Cuba did a great job with this family classic. The dancing was excellent, though I did notice the male dancers were overall better than their female counterparts. They stuck to the traditional story, which I enjoyed, given that many other productions have changed the story to help 'modernize' it.
I was sad to see the end of the Nutcracker ballet. For almost two hours I sat spellbound. Having been to Cuba several times I knew that Cuban dancers have superb timing and rythmn and love to perform. I wasn't dissapointed about anything in this performance.
it was a great show , beautiful costumes, and the dancers were amazing.
Beautiful!! My daughters saw ballet for the first time, and thought it was so graceful. The music was memorable and we all enjoyed this ballet.
The nutcracker first act was great, I liked the music and the story line. The 2nd act was a little long.
Location of event - not suitable. An arena does not make ambience for any ballet. Stage not wide enough; at times dancers had to decrease step width etc; could see going ons stage right and left due to curtains not covering open sides. Ticket price was very reasonable. Purchasing and picking up tixs nice and easy!! The Nutcracker is my favourite ballet and I have seen it 8 times. The sound and lighting were good; the costumes lovely; painted backdrop curtains were beautiful and, of course, the music is wonderful. The dancers, especially the women, were very good. However, some of the men were a little off their step and also didn't seem to be a strong. The Prima Ballerina (Clara) performed beautifully. She is very talented and has a wonderful sense of dance/rhythm. Overall it was an enjoyable evening.
It was good, however we paid alot for the tickets and we were watching the Stage at an angle. Therefore, we could not see part of the Ballet. Too high priced for what we could see.
the Nutcracker was amazing! The dancers were outstanding!
