The Nutcracker

Think this ballet warrants a post to itself.

The funny thing is, they had a very long introduction we had to READ before the ballet started. It kind of drafted out the story in words, den the ballet proceeded. Same for the second half. I kind of got tired of reading halfway.

We got these balcony seats that were 5 seats to a balcony. As the other seats were empty, we had the entire balcony to ourselves! So private right? very cool! undisturbed enjoyment! really good feeling.

The ballet is really good. I mean, the stars la. Haha.. the early parts have a little bit of in-coordination, think they're new learners or something like that. The cast is great, as in HUMONGOUS. They start from little kids as young as 4 i think!

The best part i'd say was after Clara enjoyed the dances by the Sugar Plum Fairy, where everyone (the adults) danced in unison. Omg, the pairs were so in sync and the ladies at the back, although doing different steps synchronised so well! You could really feel the beat together with them!

Although I'm totally not approving of certain costumes that would've cause Mr Tchai to puke his stomach out, I think the lady in the weird costume did do really well with the guys. The way she stood straight on his shoulder and balanced so well.. it was absolutely amazing...

Ah.. another thing to congratulate is the amazement of the men.. omg.. they do their turns like walking! Amazing, the mimicking of the nutcracker was good at the start. Just at the start.

Overall, it was a very nice way to enjoy your Christmas, let the mood sink in, Merry Christmas! :)
