The rumor is that MMDG performs this every other year in Berkeley; I assume the other alternating years they perform in Brooklyn? Don’t quote me on this though!

Does this only play in Berkeley? Are there no performances at MMDG in NY?

Thanks for the review! I have ALWAYS wanted to see this ballet, but have never had the chance. I hope I do someday!

That picture of Mark Morris is perfect in so many ways. I’d love to see him on stage. The sets look amazing as well! I love how he didn’t just try to make a new Nutcracker, but tried to incorporate themes into it in addition to recreating the story.

I love how it’s described as being “at the junction of fiction and memory, of cheap thrills and horror” in the advertising video on the cal performances website.

Hi Heather! I was just looking for Mark Morris Hard Nut photos on Google and stumbled onto your site.

Thanks for dropping by!

Hi — you dropped a comment on my review of the same performance over at LiveJournal. I’m idly curious whether you were doing a general search for reviews of the work or ended up there via some other route. (It always seems so hard to find specific topics in LiveJournal except for those people choose to index.)
