VietNamNet Bridge – HCMC Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera (HBSO) will host the ballet ‘Nutcracker’ at the HCMC Opera House at 8 p.m. on November 11, 16 and 18. The program is collaborated by Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam, the Music Information Center Norway and sponsor Diamond Island.
The concert will take place under the baton of Magnus Loddgard who is an experienced pianist and conductor in Norway.
Nutcracker is based on the classic story ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ by E.T.A. Hoffman, is set to music by Tchaikovsky and features dancing sugarplum fairies, valiant toy soldiers and dueling mice, twirling snowflakes, waltzing flowers, and, of course, a Nutcracker prince. The concert is always a favorite in the Christmas holiday season.
Now, it is available to Saigonese in a special version staged by Norwegian choreographer Johanne Jakhelln Constant with the dancers of HBSO. Last year, the ballet debuted in HCMC for the first time and gained much appreciation from experts and audiences alike.
The ballet promises to bring joyful and artistic moments not only to young audiences but also to ballet lovers, bringing them to legendary and poetic scenery.
