I took my daughter who is 5 hoping she would be able to sit through and enjoy the show as she loves ballet. She could not take her eyes off the entire time! The dancers were wonderful and the costumes, sets and special effects were amazing. Thank you!
We enjoyed the Nutcracker. The orchestra and dancers were all amazing.
A family friend with whom we attended this event said it surpassed the ballet he saw in St. Petersberg, Russia. The event was nearly perfect, not to be missed.
What an amazing show!! I could have watched those dancers forever.
Nutcracker opened on a good note. The scenery in the first act was absolutely amazing! Costumes and backdrops complemented the dance. However, in act II, the scenery was very distracting and was not congruent with act I. The colors of the backdrops conflicted with costumes and distracted from the dance. Dancing was well done and enjoyable, as was the music.
A fun evening out for the holidays! Fun for all ages.
A delightful holiday experience, as always. Nutcracker is the perfect family outing. This year's production - on opening night - was well-performed, without flaws, and magical.
Of all the Nutcrackers I've seen, this may turn out to be the most memorable, for all of the right reasons. The dancing was superb, from the youngest to the most experienced. The staging was simple, elegant, and absolutely all that was needed. The orchestra was not perfect for every note, but was damn near perfect for damn near every note! We love the Opera House as a venue, and it really works well for ballet. The shiny floor was really fun! Lenny & Debi
It was good, orchestral music could be a little louder?
I have seen several different companies perform the Nutcracker and thought this performance was good and with lots of energy. We were distracted by the family in front of us checking/texting on their cell phones and eating candy with crinkly wrappers. Wish the ushers would have caught that prior to the show.
Each year for me, the official start of the Holiday Season is when I see The Nutcracker. Until then, it somehow isn't real yet. The party at the Stahlbaum's, the Land of Snow and the dancing Snowflakes. Every year I see it, I think "WOW! It's Christmas time". This year's performance of The Nutcracker lives up to every expectation raised by past year's events. Take the whole family!
I was impressed with the level of skill and the excellent execution of this play. What was surprising was the level of humor in this piece, it was very entertaining. It was sad that I was unable to take any pictures due to the no camera policy at Ellie Caulkins., as I've already forgotten what the artists looking like.
it was a great experience for my children who are 8 and 10. i too enjoyed it very much. cello solo in 1st act and 2and was absolutely beautiful.
Don Quixote was wonderful! I had a great time at the ballet.
I have neve submitted a review for anything, but I have to let the Elli Caulkins Opera House how disappointed I was with the performance of Don Quixote. I should have know when the tickets were so cheap. I attended the Fri 10/23 show. The dancers were out of sinc, the primadonna was not on que with the music, costumes were cheezy... It will be awhile before I trust a show at the Opera house. Denver needs better cultural performances if they want to staty alive. It's a real shame because it is a beautiful facility and so much fun to go to the ballet! The one great bright spot was that everyone was turned out in their best to see the ballet.
I really enjoyed the level of talent displayed at this particulair ballet, and find it so very true when the program states, "you do not need to go to NY or LA to find talented artists, they are right here in Denver."
Don Quixote seemed to have a lethargic start, but it crescendoed to a great finale.
From the costumes to the dancers it was excellent!
the ballet was everything it should be, fun, light and with excellent dancing, choreography and cosumes. Please continue to bring these wonderful shows to Denver.
Absolutely beautiful. We were so happy we were there on the day Kitri and Igor danced. We loved them in Swan Lake also.
