Alice S Adventures In Wonderland

Ottimo prodotto, ben confezionato e arrivato in perfetto orario 👍

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 9 settembre 2013

Incantevole produzione del Royal Ballet del 2011. L'immortale capolavoro di Lewis Carroll trova qui una trasposizione assolutamente eccezionale per la freschezza e l'originalità delle coreografie (Christopher Wheeldon), la forza trascinante delle musiche (Joby Talbot), l'incanto delle scenografie e dei costumi (Bob Crowley e Nicholas Wright), la fantasia e la verve delle soluzioni sceniche, la maestria del corpo di ballo.
Lauren Cuthbertson è una Alice perfetta per grazia ed espressività, Sergei Polunin è un bravissimo partner come Fante di cuori, ma tutti gli interpreti, nessuno escluso, rivelano un talento e un affiatamento sorprendenti.
Uno spettacolo di grande gusto e raffinatezza, un vero trionfo per gli occhi e per le orecchie,
Durata: due ore circa. Extra: documentario della BBC "Being Alice". Libretto in inglese, francese e tedesco.
L'edizione in blu-ray ha uno smalto e una definizione video e audio (DTS-HD) superbi.

Excellent ballet from Royal Ballet.
I had the opportunity to see the performance at the ROH, and I decided to buy the DVD, to show it to friends.
I suggest Alice as a beautiful alternative to Nutcracker for Christmas.

Curiouser and Curiouser

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 2 dicembre 2017

I came to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (created in 2011) only this autumn. After Youtube-snippets sparked my curiosity, I went to see a Royal Ballet performance last September. It didn't disappoint, prompting me to buy the blu-ray. The performance makes a delicious romp, with music-hall influences, tap (Mad Hatter), and, starting with Alice going into the rabbit hole, simply loaded with special effects - leading to allegations of the show being superficial. I think these are unfounded; uttered by people apparently not looking past form. Alice's journey has an underlying theme of growing up, delving into oneself, and standing up for the one you love, regardless of class. Point in this process takes place halfway the ballet, in 'Alice Alone.' While Alice dances, there are lines, formed by caterpillar smoke, projected: 'where are you?,' how are you?,' and finally 'who are ...?' That's right, 'you.' The camera, however, fails to register that last 'you.' Even though you might guess it by then, this is sloppy. On said camera work: in many scenes there is awful lot happening at the same time, so it proves quite impractical to get all the different information of it in close-ups, as happens with the first scene, the Liddell garden party.
The pressure of creating a new full-length work on major ballet companies is huge, and the docmentary (extras) mentions it. Especially so for the Royal Ballet and its tradition, which always emphasized the narrative ballets. Not since Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling (a dramatic ballet, dealing with the suicide scandal of Austrian's last crown prince) has there been one that held repertory in Covent Garden, and that was in 1978 ... A large, attributing fault in the fabric of these works might be the meagre role and dances for the corps de ballet, something the 19th century understood and did so well. Christopher Wheeldon, Alice's boyish-wizard choreographer, didn't fall into that trap. He has done a terrific job here with the agressive cards, slightly less so with the ballroomy flowers, but given time, the choreographic niceties in both scenes will prove their worth more and more. Wheeldon the step maker is more often than not overzealous, stuffing his works with material, but in a psychologically complex work like Alice it doesn't look out of place. There are two other things Wheeldon, his librettist Nicholas Wright and composer Joby Talbot (kudos) managed to accomplish: they succeeded in transfering the 'unheimischness' of Lewis Carroll's book to the stage, having many characters and scenes emit an uneasy feel. The cold Mother/Queen of Hearts is one example, but the scene with the Duchess, the Cook and Baby Pig went further; made me a bit queasy. So, in an odd way, arresting theatre. The other thing is that a story-telling ballet needs a pas de deux. This landed Alice her love interest Jack/Knave of Hearts. Their relationship is developed over the course of the ballet, and has a very appealing innocence and honesty. Jack/Knave of Hearts, Mother/Queen of Hearts, Father/King of Hearts, Carroll/White Rabbit, Magician/Mat Hatter. The double role-trick is, like in MGM's Wizard of Oz, a smart way to explain a dream to a post-Freud audience.
The role of Alice was created on Lauren Cuthbertson, the English ballerina of this generation. Cuthbertson may not have the charisma of her predecessors Darcey Bussell or Margot Fonteyn, but she is beautiful in her own right, and very contemporary as a beauty that dares to be, and dance 'ugly.' She is totally immersed in the role, and has the technique to underscore it. Her Jack/Knave of Hearts is Sergei Polunin, of recent fame or infame, depending on your point of view. I had seen him in class, but never on stage, and thought his take on the male lead here surprisingly 'young,' even androgynous. His technique is smooth, with effortless landings. The supporting cast, from Edward Watson (Carroll/White Rabbit) and Steven McRae (Mad Hatter) to the expressively-faced Zenaida Yanowsky (Mother/Queen of Hearts), and the guesting Simon Russell Beale (playing the grotesque Duchess, obviously hired in tribute to the English pantomime tradition), could not be better. Among the smaller roles there's Samantha Raine as Alice's 'blue' sister, a champion of sincerity in every step she makes, and Christopher Saunders as Father (and King of Hearts), who is so convincing as he walks a tightrope between calming and simply loving his wife. Yanowsky's Tart Adagio, a play on Sleeping Beauty's Rose Adagio is positively slapstick. It is soon followed by the emotional highlight of the ballet: Alice and Jack's 'Court Room Pas de Deux,' wherein Alice makes the grown-up choice for her Knave. The duo wins over the initially reluctant wonderlanders/bystanders, but soon after the dream starts to fall apart, beginning with a chase, prompted by the irascible, head-chopping Queen of Hearts. The ballet's ending brings a different awakening than you might expect. A lovely, and contemporary one too.
All this comes on a Blu-ray disc with perfect picture and sound. It makes a great X-mas present for anyone caring for ballet, or could be the vehicle to make the uninitiated 'curiouser and curiouser.'

Just what you want from a fantasy land.

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 7 gennaio 2020

The music, the choreography, the costumes and the stage design all build together to create a wonderful piec e of new ballet. Oh! and the dancers are superb, with the whole company taking part.

Great fun probably the future Christmas show.

Joby Talbot and Christopher Wealdon have worked together before and what an incredible team they make.

Favourite moments are the Mad Hatters Tea Party and the Flower Garden waltz.

A Sparkling Production

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 6 febbraio 2015

Imaginative adaption of Lewis Caroll into a ballet in which each scene bursts with its own magic. This is due to brilliant Choreography (by Christopher Wheeldon), staging and dancing. The very good filming of the ballet complement all these qualities to make a production that is not only good but entertaining. I imagine this to be a staple of the Royal Ballet, London for all the family, a long time into the future.
The dancing of Lauren Cuthbertson, Sergei Polunin, Edward Watson and Zenaida Yanowsky are particularly memorable but all the company put in good performances.

An Excellent Production

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 15 giugno 2013

This modern ballet was broadcast live to cinemas all over the world earlier this year. The production is excellent with no expense spared in either sets or costumes. I expect that this will become one of those classic productions in the years to come.
