Last friday i went to the Birmingham Royal Ballet with my mum and dad to see The Nutcracker. It was truly amazing. Ever since i was a little girl i have always enjoyed going to the theatre, watching musicals and Ballet. I guess that's where my love of performing came from, aspiring to be like the stars i watched on the stage. The story of The Nutcracker is about a young girl, aspiring ballet dancer, who at night goes to her christmas tree to play with a toy given to her by a magician. She then shrunk to the size of her toys under the tree, where she, the nutcracker and her toys perform for her and defeat the evil Rat King.
The dancing was beautiful. As a dancer myself i couldn't help watch the detailed choreography, the delicate footwork. The dancers were majestic, stunning, making myself feel overly festive and warm. Each scene was amazing in telling the story through the movement of dance.
As always the show made me want to rethink my outlook on my career, making me want to drop out of University and become a broadway star (which is impossible). Spending this experience with my parents made it more special as they are huge Ballet fans. I was around people who appreciated the dancing, who could understand the beautiful christmas story just through the movement they saw before their eyes. I felt truly blessed.
Once again The Birmingham Royal Ballet out performed themselves. A great night out, An amazing performance and i highly recommend the show to everyone.
