Pamela Moberg Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well, Her Majesty is not going to dance the Sugar Plum Fairy. But it is widely known that she is very artistic and a great fan of the ballet. The other day there was an interview with H.M. on the television where she was speaking about her new project. The RDB is going to stage an entirely new production of Nutcracker and H.M. has been commissioned to design both the sets and the costumes. This is not her first venture into ballet design.

Natalia Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks, Pamela. So the RDB is finally going to replace that wacko Ratmansky version, is it? Hallelujah! I love the queen's designs - for both RDB (the 1990s Folk Tale...minus the silly trolls) and the Tivoli Theater. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think this is for Tivoli rather than for the RDB, who have just this season staged Balanchine's Nutcracker (replacing Kenneth Greve's version - the Ratmansky one is long gone, Natalia!) Link to comment
