Success

Traditional performance at this time of year was presented on the stage of Teatro Amazonas and gained popularity in Amazonas

Manaus (AM) – After an eight-night season, and sold out tickets, the show “Nutcracker in the Enchanted Kingdom of Sweets” was attended by more than 5 thousand people, at Teatro Amazonas. The last performance was this Sunday (17th), and, once again, the concert hall was packed. The next attraction of the December season will be the “O Encanto de Natal” concert, from December 20th to 23rd. Entry is by appointment on the Culture Portal (cultura.am.gov.br).

The Amazon production of the show “The Nutcracker” was an adaptation of the classic ballet by composer Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). The general direction was signed by Álvaro Gonçalves and, completing the work as a whole, the Amazonas Filarmônica, Coral do Amazonas, Madrigal and Grupo Vocal dos Corpos Artísticos do Amazonas. The show was part of the Enchanted World of Christmas program, promoted by the State Government, through the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy. The musical direction was by maestro Marcelo de Jesus.

“The audience is really surprising. People don’t limit themselves to one type of show. People are open to coming to the theater and expecting something new,”

said the conductor.

Without hiding his emotion on the closing night, Marcelo de Jesus also spoke about the dedication of the musicians and dancers. “It is a work of great importance for the orchestra. It’s not easy to play the entire ballet eight times without breaks. You see in the musicians that feeling of being fulfilled, our role is to transmit this to these people, many of whom are watching a show with orchestra, ballet, scenery, costumes for the first time”, adds the maestro.

The general director and classical ballet teacher, Álvaro Gonçalves, highlights the social role of the show, in forming new audiences. “This year we had different people in the audience, usually the families of our students. This time people commented on social media, we interacted with a different audience, a lot of people were moved. I am very happy to have expanded the reach of classical ballet”, celebrates Álvaro.

The person who doesn’t miss an end-of-year show from the State Government is the social worker, Bruna Vargas. In the company of her son, she secured the place via appointment.

“The shows are great, free, and it’s wonderful for children. They are delighted. It’s great for the family to have fun, watch and leave more amazed than when they entered, because our theater itself is already beautiful and, with the show, the performance is wonderful”, reveals Bruna.
