Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker (The Royal Ballet)

- Lauren Cuthbertson performs the famous Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, set to Tchaikovsky's iconic score.
The Nutcracker is available to watch now - along with over 60 other extraordinary productions - on Royal Opera House Stream. Watch the whole performance now at www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-ev...
Peter Wright’s nigh-on definitive production for The Royal Ballet ranks as one of the most enduring and enchanting versions of The Nutcracker. With its festive period setting, dancing snowflakes and enchanting stage magic, Lev Ivanov’s 1892 ballet has become the perfect Christmas entertainment, with Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous, sugar-spun music the most recognizable of all ballet scores.
Loosely based on the story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, the ballet opens with the lively Christmas party that is hosted by the Stahlbaum family, its Victorian setting captured in opulent detail by Julia Trevelyan Oman’s designs. Wright’s choreography ingeniously incorporates surviving fragments of the ballet’s original material, including the sublime pas de deux for the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince. But in emphasizing the relationship between Clara and the Nutcracker Prince, the production also gains a touching subtext of first love. - บันเทิง

That sweet, bell-like sound with an ethereal quality is made by an instrument called the celesta. It transports you to a fantastical, magical world.
Wow kool!
Wow I was actually interested in knowing that. Thank you very much ❤😊
It's also used in the main theme of Harry Potter!
Thank you smart side of TH-cam
It's called Celesta
I'm so sad Tchaikovsky thought he did a bad job with this. It transports me to another realm whenever I hear it. I hope that, whatever afterlife he's in, he's able to see how much we love it and how much we love him for making this.
I hate it when people underestimate ballet, it takes so much strength to do this yet you have to smile and look graceful
@Patty Jacobson huh
Yeah
Who TF does that, I mean I dunno but it looks hard as fuck...
It actually is so hard. You have to have so much strength to be able to stand on the dead tip of your toe.
I had a dude tell me you dont need to be strong to dance and istg i woulda snapprd his neck if it was irl
im the only one suddenly gets interested in ballet for no reason
Not the only one

@@johntaylor8463 thanks.. I hope that you and your loved ones and also your whole community. I have never seen a live ballet performance, maybe After the chaos ill get to do this.. God bless us all
She must have dedicated her life to training for these 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It's truly remarkable to be able to watch this for free at home. Appreciate her perfect solo dancing!
Tchaikovsky thinking that he failed this ballet brings me tears because I haven't heard anything better than this in my whole life. I guess all of the great artists in the literary, art, and music world have had the tendency to think they're a failure.
The only other ballet that could out do this one is swan lake...
@@oliviaellis2121 Well he composed Swan Lake so I sure it disappointed him that the Nutcracker wasn't 110% as good
Why is that?
The discipline these girls go through to attain this level of perfection must be excruciatingly painful but, the end result is delightful to watch. They should be so proud of themselves.
agnes ham this comment made my day! so happy to see someone recognize my hard work
Probably not there stomachs though..
lolbomb gamerpants I’m 100% sure they eat well enough to train for 10 hours a day
as my daughter would say, "ballet is pain. Pain is ballet."
agnes ham it is not excruciating pain, it is painful, but the pain is nit EXCRUCIATING. You want to know what excruciating is, look up “anesthesia awareness”
Me: "That looks easy".
Doctor 2 hours later: "You'll have to wear this boot for 6 weeks".
😂🤣😭😭
That’s hilarious
Who said ballet was easy and painlesss
Me at dance:
LMFAO
If my concert soloing experience is any indication, she must not have had many opportunities to practice with the orchestra. Yet she still matches up with the music beautifully. It’s incredible how perfectly she controls her body.
Where do you see perfect matching to music?
i felt that too, do you think it is possible that the orchestra is trying to fuck her up by slightly doing uptempo here
Well whatever. I just realised this type of thing is soooo white. It's like for white people. A black girl wouldn't fit to it.
Maybe a Chinese girl. But I think black girls are too soul for it and Indians are too bollywood for it. Too spicey. It doesn't fit. You gotta be white
for the RB production this solo is with the oboes@@yura41
Ballet dancers are the fittest and strongest of all dancers. The core strength they have to perform this sort of routine is remarkable. As far as timing is concerned, you've no idea about the way these routines are perfectly choreographed with the music. It's a classic example of pearls before swine. Look that up (assuming you can read).
She looks weightless like the floor is made of glass. What a beautiful performance 👏
When trying to sneak down the stairs without your parents hearing you
T right 😂😂😂😂🌚💔
XD
Omg lol u just made my day 😂😂😂
Yes but IRL you're not that graceful so at the end they ear you 😅
Whose that extra sneaking down like that lmao
Ballet is the most beautiful form of dance on earth
No entiendo en que idioma hablan
I think ballet and second for me is tap because I live pounding my feet 😂
I would say Ballet and Flamenco are the 2 most beautiful
But also the most painful one
Even I agree that beauty is subjective, and I also think the ballet is one of the most beautiful dance forms out there, but South Indian classical dance has me in awe- m.th-cam.com/video/UTZD06_HSe0/w-d-xo.html
My feet hurt just by watching her do the ballet. Beautiful performance.
I'm not gonna lie, this isn't my favorite variation of the dance, but this dancer made it looks so easy and flawless. Her dancing was magnificent and she herself is very beautiful!
I’m a pointe dancer and it’s so painful, I’ve been training for 10 years, I’m 17 but I’ve been dancing since I was 3, and being on pointe. You feel Great but it is so painful, the amount of gel and plasters I go through every dance class I attend is crazy, not only do you need a good physical state, you need a good mental state too, I hope my hard work and training makes me become a beautiful dancer like this ballerina is
Kay_Namjoon K I know how you feel.
YOU GO GIRL ❤️😘
Same!
Misplaced 0 no I haven’t, I might take a look :)
I am really proud of you even though I don’t know who you are
Let’s appreciate the awesome orchestra too. They have to go through a lot of shows, especially during the Christmas season
They are so under appreciated
I may or may not have just looked this up for the music
Yeah
this video is about THE SUGARPLUM FAIRY not the orchestra :/
@@abigail5609 ok but where would the music come from for her to dance to 🤔 if the ORCHESTRA wasn't there
The strength, coordination, beauty, and sheer determination of this woman. Deserves great admiration. Applause upon applause.
Ever since I was a little girl I loved ballet and this is one of my favourites! Just the music and the way the dancer appears to effortlessly float across the stage making it look so easy. Absolutely beautiful! The music and everything about this is so good and it always gave me goosebumps from a young age ❤
Erasealldata
I feel like. Am the only one that just loves ballet out of nowhere.
You’re not alone, after watching an among us video that had “In the hall of the mountain king” in it I suddenly got interested in classical music and now I’m here :)
Yes you are the only one. Ballet is such a niche interest, how could millions of people possibly have an interest in it. Yes, you truly are the only one.
As well as me. I was just watching some horror when I wanted to watch a ballet act. Haha.
@@quienn4303 бййбхйгкл
I saw this in 7th grade but have been in love with it since elementary school.
*I can’t even imagine the grueling pain she must have gone through*
Pain from what?
Aya Bakir Pointe
Aya Bakir you have to dance on you actual toes and looking at that you can see that literally almost the entire time she’s on her toes dancing. Coming from someone that does dance and pointe, that hurts. Basically what that feels like is if you were to stand on your toes, and I don’t mean your tip toes I mean the top of your toes, and dance around like that for hours after hours practicing. Sure that was only two minutes but the amount of pointe work she did in that is what that feels like.
@@devilofdance6223 ohhh that really does hurt 😢😢 thank you for Explaining
@@devilofdance6223 NOT TO MENTION THAT HARD THING AT THE END-
Is it just me that can't stop watching ballet videos over and over? They are so graceful and elegant. I hope to be like them one day.
She makes it look so easy even though ballet is very difficult. Every movement looks perfect , she is like a doll from an animated movie. This was beautiful!
I have been fascinated by ballet ever since I was a kid and I watched all the barbie movies and they always looked so elegant when they danced ballet . Even as an adult I watch them sometimes but especially the nutcracker. Those movies brings me back to a time in my life when I felt joyful. I can't dance ballet but watching it makes me feel happy and relaxed. It's amazing how we can train our bodies to be able to do these kind of choreographies and make it look magical while moving around so gracefully.
This may sounds odd but i imagine this is how powdered sugar dusted on sweet pastries would look like in dance form , so soft and light. Well done
What a great analogy! 😊
*oh mY GOD*
Swan lake barbie
Absolutely yes! Not even just the dancing, but both that and the music! Hands down lovely.
Ainnur Sarah this makes me hungry 😭
notice how she is smiling in all this pain, but she still is beautiful and dances well? This is te real challenge. Smile In Agony, Triomph in beauty
Ballet performances are meant to look effortless, in the end the passion you put in and the sound of crowds cheering really satisfy and outweigh the pain
No hate or something but, most of the ballet dancers is dancing, because
they like it. Yes it IS pain. But ballet dancers like to performing.
@@sirilauemoller the pointe shoes make it even worse I’m assuming.
@@sirilauemoller I-
i never said they didn't like to dance, I've been doing ballet for ten years and have partcipated in several ballet festivals and enjoyed it inspite of the pain, however, I would know that staying on point for more than ten seconds and having to spin afterwards is very painful, but you are required to smile
@Paper_CrownPeriod. My best friend is a ballet dancer, and has been for all her life. She’s so elegant with her dancing. I’m jealous of her determination.
I have enjoyed seeing her elegant dance. She must have put lots effort in dancing to this level. Good effort and her spirit of persistent and hardworking finally let her stand out and get applaud from her audience. Bravo.
They try for the best of the best in Royale ballets
It's like she's barely touching the ground, like she's walking on clouds. It takes so much effort to walk lightly OR do ballet but to do both simultaneously, like doing ballet and making it look so effortless is MIND BLOWING
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how graceful her moves are. Her expression so graceful too. Her footwork on point and lastly how beautiful she looks.
Ara Hossain if only you knew how much pain that causes and we still have to put a smile on our faces
@@devilofdance6223 i know it's really hard and causes pain. But she is doing the moves so gracefully that it's really satisfying.
We're watching the video, that's the moment.
It hurts but you love it so much that you don’t care..
she looks so happy when she's in so much pain
When you try to copy her graceful and elegant moves in the middle of the night then you hear someone with eye bags asking you if they heard any elephants in the middle of the night.

Lol
Haha thats so funny
Absolutely beautiful, lovely and so graceful. All the ballerinas are perfect A pleasure to see such accomplished ballet . All the accolades anyone can say.
So beautiful, she makes it look effortless and graceful. A true master of her art!
When you wish you didn’t give up ballet when you were six...

@anna oof
Her hardworking really paid off because I mean she got in the nutcracker with a big role that's already amazing but the fact she's the Sugar plum fairy she really deserved it
Actually she is principal in one of the major companies in the World, she does this kind of roles really often
@@Joanna.Dorame thats so cool! I wish I could get these roels often i mean i just started soo my only roels are the polys and the mouse at least im young LOL
all that hard work really pays off. the moves are so rough and difficult to bear, yet she still shows her grace and poise. wonderful!
I have an autistic son, and he’s been watching this video over and over and over. His eyes shine when he sees her dancing! Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance with us!
i’m autistic and ballet is my special interest!! i love watching these videos so so much.
There’s just something so beautiful about ballet, the way they move it’s so elegant and graceful and the way they tell a story without saying a word
MsFriendsfan4ever silent stories.
I am 13 years old and I have had no ballet classes in my entire life. Yet I have practiced for seven years only by a book
And I perform for my school every month
Also the point of ballet is to make it look effortless
Well the bad part is it is not graceful to actually do. It is straight up PAIN like no joke . It is probably the most graceful dancing in the worl or lyrical but that’s another story , but it is like PAIN like...
The Russians sure knew how to compose masterpieces like this.

You need proper training and shoes to pull it off. If you tried to point as well you probably would rip your muscles to shreds or something :[
Dude going en Pointe takes practice and a ton of training, not to mention the fact it lovkey destroyes your feet

@BadHairLife- Yeah, jumping around on only your tippy-toes can be brutal, too!
relatable
moooooooood
BadHairLife kinda like figure skating. Looks so easy.......
That’s the point. To make something so difficult look easy and be graceful while doing it. Ballet takes extreme discipline and training. Similar to opera or figure skating.
Use to have to go every year to see my sister, was always delighted even at 6-7 years old, best soundtrack I probably ever heard. Listened to his record at home when I found it.
How I love the art and discipline of ballet. I miss it. 🫶
I dont know ANYTHING about ballet, but she is soooooo graceful.
I have been doing ballet 🩰 for 5 years and I’m still not that good but all ik is that those shoes.......HURT LIKE CRAZY
My Daughter is 9 ans sur is doing pointe
Royale kingdom I have dancing for 5 years also!
I have been dacing since I was 2 and was dreaming about being on point and my dream has almost come true! I am on pre-point.
Everyone gangsta till they get a Russian ballet teacher
True...I grew up in Moscow, and attended ballet classes.
Needless to say, my teacher was ruthless, and I didn't have enough willpower so I dropped out :(((((
I never had a Russian ballet teacher, but just from watching documentary they look scary
@@selinachen7795 fr I Just feel bad for them they too rough on kids
She is lovely.Playing all the classic of all times.Doesn´t miss us her culture and tradition.Maybe they came late back them,but now she is real,tough and we can watch how many times we like it.Thank you.
Everything is so beautiful! Her dress, her makeup, the set. It is all enchanting.

I relate so bad

everywhere I wear a hoodie and jeans so uh
for real she looks gorgeous tho?
The way she looks out to the audience while she’s doing the steps, as if she doesn’t even have to look to know what she’s doing... effortless
There's no way in the world that was effortless.
Where else would she look?
@@stephlrideout you don't only look in one place when you dance
I know, so why wouldn't she look out to the audience? That's the most natural place to look.
Stephanie Rideout not all the time, I do ballet and you don’t look straight in front of all the time - you’re eyeline changes a lot because you follow your arms
Legendary moment from ballet. The dancer performed it quite well.
Dancing on the very tip of your toes is painful and absolutely brutal, but this charming woman does it so effortlessly and with a smile on her face. I love ballet. They’re so badass.
So graceful and gorgeous. Her steps appear to be so light.
crocochoo
Totally agree!!! She is sooooo graceful and elegant !!!!!!
crocochoo I have to do this in my recital because we are doing the nutcracker and this is the video that my dance teacher showed me. I'm the sugar plum fairy in one show and Clara in another
Oh, I bet you'll be divine :3
crocochoo meanwhile her toenail is fallen off because that’s the sacrifice of doing point
Her steps are so light cause’ she’s wearing these shoes called ‘ Pointe shoes’.
To this ballerina, i know you have been through a lot and we are here to give you respect. You deserve it. Thank you for this performance. You are a living proof that hardwork pays off.
I won't hit like just because of the number of likes you have. 222. I can't ruin that!
@I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY ! there have to pass through a lot o strict measures to make it this far
@I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY ! yk the road of the ballerina is not as simple as it may seem
@@mugiwaraprincess I would be surprised if anyone thought it was simple. A lot of work for not a lot of pay. A lot of pain. These women are superheroes.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 ikr, they really go through sm but many still don't get the appreciation and remuneration they deserve . they're really amazing !

Standing on your toes alone is hard enough and she does that and much much more with perfect poise, grace and a beautiful smile on her face. Mind blowing ngl❤🔥🔥
audience: wow, so graceful, so elegant, so effortless
the ballerina: I'M IN SO MUCH PAIN MY MUSCLES ARE BuRNinG OH NO THE HARD ONE IS COMMING UP JUST KEEP SMILING
Yeah. My cousins a part of the Royal Ballet school in London and she once had to get sent to hospital due to her pulled muscles and over-blistered feet.
this is a hilarious comment because at my dance studio, when we do nutcracker and we're learning sugarplum, we all say that pas de chat part is the hardest lol
PLEASE THAT'S SO RELATABLE I CAN'T-
I remember seeing somewhere Ballet and Gymnastics were called the two most physically demanding endeavors. Gymnastics more for the upper body, and ballet for the lower. While still needing considerable strength and flexibility for both.
Though I have no source for it or proof, always stuck with me.

Once you find ballet there is nothing better.
One of the most stunning arts in existence!
I love Nina Kaptsova's performance of the piece.
I would beg to differ
Speak for ypurself
Feeling the same😍
She’s been training her whole life. I have no right to judge.
This ballet is a large inspiration for me learning ballet at 30. I want nothing more than to dance this ballet. Tchaikovsky thinking he failed this one is such a travesty. It my favorite
that ending is just perfection! the way she always lands into the ballet position during the turns is impeccable. that takes so much skill!!
For people asking why the choreography and music don’t necessarily match. She is the sugar plum fairy, she is supposed to be pure and delicate. It’s all about the quieter notes, and the notes in the background! I think it is by far the best sugar plum fairy variation there is! Well Done Lauren! ✨
Ross Ewen so true
Thanks for the explanation! I thought the audio and video weren't in sync. she's not in sync with the louder instruments, but she is with the quieter ones =)
I was confused as well but then I heard the background notes :)
I got your point, but, to me, both dance and music are just in line
same here, I never thought it was out of sync because I usually hear the whole orchestra and not just the loud instruments :)
This is more elegant in one video than I will be in my whole life
Katie Maskell i like your profile lol
It's ugly like me

Amazing and graceful. What is so amazing about grace? Hmm I can't explain but I have experienced how amazing grace is.

Some people assume that ballet is very easy since it looks so graceful and elegant but it takes a lot of strength to make it seem perfect, it's actually one of the most difficult dances out there.
She looks as delicate as spun sugar. So enchanting!

@@williamhanson9493 Noice troll attempt guy! You can't actually be seriously comparing ballet with the UFC because that would really mean you're that dumb.
So it's fine, because you weren't serious, you were just trying to be funny. Failure to be funny is fine! You just suck at comedy, nothing to be bent out of shape for. Way better than being stupid enough to compare ballet to punching and kicking people! That would be a massive L so it's a good thing that's not what your comment is about! Phew! Dodged that bullet! Or should I say... that "ballet"? Hah! That's how we keep it topical instead of mentioning completely unrelated stuff on a video about ballet! Like out of nowhere mentioning the UFC for no reason! That's just weird! But not for a joke! If it's just a small trolling attempt, it's allowed! Can you imagine if it wasn't a trolling attempt? How stupid you'd sound by making that comparison? Heh! It's good you didn't do it! The cringe would be phenomenal! So much cringe from a comment that, out of nowhere, would try to devalue the decades of work and discipline that go into these dancers mastering their bodies, working to learn choreography, working with orchestras and bands to finetune their performances and actually performing on stage. Would be such a weird connection to make, too!
But it was all a small troll attempt that failed miserably so it's alright! ^_^
So true; I actually do know what they go through to achieve this. And I wish I didn`t.
Wondering how much they earn ok the US as a ballerina. ❤❤❤

I have attempted that variation before as a ballet dancer and I can say the most difficult part is the turns at the end, I have an insane amount of respect for anyone who can do that amount of turns in a row and stand perfectly still afterward.
What is this variation called? Is it just called the RB variation

She looks so playful yet delicate (for a fairy role). I'm not even a dancer but I think she danced with the music (unlike what most people say) and she exerted it flawlessly!

I do nutcracker (ballet) and last year i actually could watch and help get the dancer ready (even tho shes like 40) and it was super fun!! I absolutely LOVEE nutcracker seasonnnn ❤❤
I remember when I was little and did ballet. I wanted to be able to dance like this, but now I’m literally the most inflexible, uncoordinated person you’ll ever meet
Me too omg. I've grown into being nerdy and academic which I love but sometimes I miss the dance days haha. And I envy people who fit in both studying and proper exercise!
I lasted three years when I was younger and had to quit because the teacher told me I was getting fat lol.
I danced ballet for about seven years before my dance teacher retired and got replaced by someone who wasn't nearly as good, and then I stopped and have been pretty out of practice ever since. I'd love to get back into it, though--I'll never be able to dance with a professional company with my bad hips, but I'd like to get some of my flexibility back.
Same! I danced for about 10 years and then stopped and would love to go back and learn more. Wish I was more flexible and coordinated as my younger self
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
I mean is she even a human?
