Nutcracker 2015/Nußknacker 2015: Part/Teil II

Okay, here you go, this is what I found on Flora's and Jonathan's cameras.  These are not terrific videos and I did not film everything.

Hier sieht man nun, was ich auf Floras und Jonathans Fotoapparat gefunden habe.  Das sind qualitativ nicht die besten Videos und ich habe auch nicht alles gefilmt.

 Taking Flora to the library because the doors to the auditorium were still closed.  This is the children's section.
Ich gehe mit Flora in die Bücherei, weil man noch nicht ins Theater kann.  Hier ist die Kinderbuchabteilung.

 This is such a gorgeous building with handcarved wood done by Swiss artists!
Dieses Gebäude ist wirklich wunderschön.  Viele Schnitzereien sind von Schweizer Künstlern angefertigt worden.

    1. You are welcome, we did rest on Monday, although Peter and I had to teach on campus.

  2. It's wonderful to look through the dress rehearsal movies. Jonathan almost takes up the whole stage! We love his pantomime. It was superb. Chanda liked that it had some dancing in it, and I loved how he ended it: so strong! The Polichinelles are adorable. I picked out Miriam clearly, but was a little unsure of Veronika . . Which one was she from the right?

    Charlotte is gorgeous as Spanish :) She must have had so much fun dancing it (along with Flowers! Morgana loved dancing Flowers.) Kudos!

    I can listen to the Nutcracker endlessly. The music is so moving and always makes me cry. I'm still waking up with it in my head. This morning I woke to "Snow." Chanda says it's because I'm yearning for it to snow!

    All your other pictures are so lovely . . the beautiful library and beautiful church. What a wonderful weekend you had!

    1. Thank you, Dorina. The stage is really small, not meant for dance performances, but there was no price attached for using the building :). I will let Jonathan know about your kind words. Veronika looks similar to another girl, Jenna. She was the second one from the left in the picture taken by the photographer. She is the last to leave the stage, she is the one who keeps waving at the people while everybody else is already leaving. She was the second to enter the stage at the beginning.

      I will also tell Charlotte that you like her dancing.

      After the rehearsals and performances I kept hearing the music in my head constantly. So I know exactly what you mean.

      Sending you some snow from here; it has been snowing all morning.

  3. (Oh! I forgot to publish before leaving the page!)

    Please tell Miriam and Veronika too! I just watched it again and saw how Veronika switches position there at the end and then waves as she goes off. They were both wonderful :) xoxo

    1. Yes, I will let them know. Miriam also brought the crown for Clara, but it is hard to see.
