i’ve loved The Nutcracker since i danced in Houston Ballet’s 1979 production. The ballet is a magical fantasy which brings families together for a special time of shared enjoyment. The Nutcracker is our Christmas gift to Queenslanders, and i am excited that this year’s season will begin an annual festive tradition in Brisbane. Choreographer Ben Stevenson is a master at storytelling and creating unique characters. It’s been a great pleasure to have him with us for the final weeks of rehearsals, and we are also grateful to Répétiteur Tim O’Keefe for creating order out of chaos in the Act 1 party and battle scenes!

fROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Li CUNxiN

I am so thrilled that legendary designer Desmond Heeley has contributed to this work. His inspired costume designs have been interpreted with great flair by Noelene Hill, and Set Designer Tom Boyd has created wondrous worlds which sparkle with lighting by David Walters. My heartfelt thanks go to Amanda Talbot and Valmai Pidgeon, whose generous support has enabled us to draw together this talented team of designers. It is these two visionary supporters, together with our creative team and dancers, who have given us a truly memorable Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music is such an important part of this ballet. In the skilled hands of our Music Director and Principal Conductor, Andrew Mogrelia, and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, his genius is unmistakable. guest Artist Remi Wörtmeyer, a Principal at Dutch National Ballet, joins us for this season. Remi is one of Australia’s talented dancers achieving great success on international stages and I am delighted to present him to our audiences in Brisbane. The success of The Nutcracker belongs in part to all who support the Company: the Queensland and federal

governments, Principal Partner QgC, Major Partners BMW, JCDecaux and Virgin Australia, and our many valued corporate partners and supporters. I am humbled and encouraged in equal measure by the way that Season 2013 has been embraced by audiences. We look forward to performing more beautiful works of art for you in 2014, and if you haven’t already bought your season ticket, please don’t leave it too late. On behalf of the Board, staff and dancers at Queensland Ballet, I wish you a happy and safe festive season. Please enjoy this performance of the marvelous, magical Nutcracker.

LI CuNxIN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

PS. Queensland Ballet has gift vouchers for our 2014 season for those hard-to-buy-for family and friends.

season’s greetings and welcome to Queensland Ballet’s new production of The Nutcracker. In the united States, The Nutcracker has become a holiday tradition in many families and the audience looks forward to it each and every year. What I particularly like about every production of The Nutcracker is that little children are performing on stage for the first time, while a lot of children are coming to the ballet for the first time. This makes it such a wonderful introduction to the ballet for children of all ages. This production, beautifully designed by Thomas Boyd, is full of magic, excitement and elegance. The party scene in the first Act is set in a farmhouse instead of the typical palace, and I have tried to insert humour to keep it less formal. The house is then magically transformed into the sparkling Land of the Snow. The Second Act brings you to the enchanting Kingdom of the Sweets, with the Sugar Plum fairy and dances from around the globe.

I am thrilled to be working with this fabulous company again and I hope you make this Nutcracker a Christmas tradition in your family!

Sincerely,

ANDREw MogRELiAMUsiC DiRECToR AND PRiNCiPAL CoNDUCToR

Appointed Music Director and Principal Conductor in 2013, British conductor Andrew Mogrelia has worked annually with Queensland Ballet since 2008. He has conducted many of Europe’s leading orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam, and Slovak Philharmonic, among others. In Australia, Andrew has conducted the Queensland and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras. He was Conductor-in-Residence at the Birmingham Conservatoire (uK) from 1992–2002, Co-Music Director of the Dutch National Ballet from 1992–1994 and Music Director and Principal Conductor of the San francisco Ballet from 2003 to 2005. Andrew has also worked with English National Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, Birmingham Royal Ballet, finnish National Ballet, The Australian Ballet, Hong Kong Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. Andrew’s extensive discography includes recordings for Naxos and Marco Polo of orchestral works and numerous complete ballets. future engagements include the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and RTE National Symphony in Dublin.

One of Tchaikovsky’s most famous and endearing scores, The Nutcracker was composed just a few years before his death in 1893. Two very important elements of this score distinguish it from his other two great ballet scores, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. firstly, the instrumentation of the work is unique. Tchaikovsky opted for a traditionally-sized brass section but included a very large woodwind group, which primarily colours the moods, changes of scene and characters in the ballet. He also incorporated extra woodwind instruments, including piccolo, cor anglais and bass clarinet. The most famous instrument he added is the celesta, which he had found in Paris some years earlier, and principally used to characterise the Sugar Plum fairy in her Act 2 variation. Another highly unusual element is the children’s chorus, singing a repeated, wordless refrain for the Waltz of the Snow flakes.

A truly magical part of this ballet is the way Tchaikovsky composed the harmony of the score. The story begins in the Stahlbaums’ home and moves to the Land of Snow, the Kingdom of Sweets, and then ends up back in the family home. Technically, Tchaikovsky mirrored the change in scenes by starting the music in B flat major and working his way slowly through the keys until the end of Act 1, when he arrives in E major—the farthest key away from B flat. Just as the Kingdom of Sweets is about as far away as you can get from the Stahlbaums’ home! I think everyone feels this musical journey and senses how the music is mirroring the story. The Nutcracker is an utterly enchanting score and a work of genius—arguably Tchaikovsky’s finest achievement.
