The Nutcracker (1994)

None. This is a 1994 revival of a production first staged in the Soviet Union in 1934; however, it uses the sets and costumes of the 1954 revival of that production. But both were staged before the idea of introducing 'sexy' elements into the ballet was ever tried. This production, though, does leave out the Sugar Plum Fairy, and gives all of her dances to Clara (here called Masha), and the Cavalier's dances are given to the Nutcracker Prince. So, the ballet is staged as if the story were a romance between Masha and the Prince, and both roles, as in the Grigorovich, Baryshnikov, Chemiakin, Maurice Sendak, and Peter Wright versions, are played by adults, not children. The onscreen credits read as if the dancer performing the role of Masha were also dancing a character called The Princess, but actually, Masha becomes the Princess, just as the Nutcracker becomes the Prince.

Masha and the Nutcracker Prince hold each other without dancing during part of the "Snowflake Waltz". At the very end of Act I, the curtain comes down with Masha and the Prince striking a pose as if they were about to kiss, but we see no actual kissing.

None, really, unless you count the Battle with the Mice as being violent, which, in this version, it isn't.

None. There is no dialogue.

None.

The Nutcracker Prince has to drive off some batlike creatures at the beginning of Act II, but this is one of the mildest versions of "The Nutcracker" you will ever see.
