♥♥♥♥♥ |
In defense of Sir Anthony Dowell
|
Dowell is more than just "a noble" dancer; he is princely and he is/was the best actor on a ballet stage, ever. There was no need for candy canes and Christmas paraphernalia, as along as the fairy and her prince portrayed that high and beautiful an ideal of the married couple.
The subsequent production of the Nutcracker is superior however, in my mind. The the two sections of the ballet, apart and disconnected in the prior, more classical version (Balanchine's included) are finally unified through an oniric, ambiguous vision that pays what it is due to the romanticism of E.T.A. Do we owe this to Sir Anthony as well? |
