I think it's time to remember the failures of past years in order to avoid this today (Of course there will be new funny moments .

My favorite version of The Nutcracker was always the one with the Pacific Northwest Ballet Co.

For those celebrating Christmas, my favorite song (and one that I occasionally sing to annoy my friends) is by Walt Kelly. Those of a certain age in the United States may remember it from the 1960s. For others it is likely to be entirely new. The lyrics for the Pogo version are on the Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL0lPcNwRqQ

In case you've forgotten them, here are the original 1862 lyrics:

Deck the hall with boughs of holly,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

'Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Troul (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/troll#Etymology_3) the ancient Yuletide carol,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

See the flowing bowl before us,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Strike the harp, and join in chorus:

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Follow me in merry measure,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

While I sing of beauty's treasure.

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Fast away the old year passes,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses:

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Laughing quaffing all together,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Heedless of the wind and weather.

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

I also love these productions of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker.

True, I admire and look at other versions of this wonderful Tchaikovsky ballet, but I always prefer to listen to his music performed by a symphony orchestra.

For me, the main thing is that the production should be in the traditions of classical ballet (I don’t understand the modern style).
