I saw their Nutcracker when they toured in Cleveland in 2007. Their version is better than many, particularly the party scene, where so many productions can fall short.
Many small details made that scene special. For example, the adults drank champagne before dinner and red wine afterward. As for the Drosselmeyer, danced by Nahat himself when I saw it, he seemed to be simply an eccentric old man, up until the very end of the scene. He's the last to leave the party, and the double doors at the back of the stage close "magically" in front of him, while he's winking to the audience and pressing his fingers to his lips, as if to share a magical secret. I swear he was looking right at me, and I understood it! He may or may not really have been looking in my direction, it was a powerful moment nonetheless: He was revealing to the audience that he was not just eccentric but magical, and he was hinting about what was to come.
What makes their production stand out is that there are several scenery changes in the second act. Music is added and rearranged, which can annoy purists. But believe it or not, it's still pretty cohesive and impressive overall. What's the use of being a purist, anyway, when it comes to The Nutcracker? There are just too many versions out there to be fussy. I'm just glad the tradition is being carried on at all these days, given our economy. But yes, the San Jose company has a great one.
