I'm not sure many people know about this adaptation but there's a Jekyll and Hyde Ballet! It leaves the Finnish National Ballet's website on 24th October so I wanted to post it here in case anyone was interested before it's gone.

It's a decent adaptation in my opinion however it doesn't follow the original novella storyline and I feel it was based off of the musical. Nonetheless, it's worth a look!

I've always thought that a christmas carol would make a wonderful ballet...and I was right.

i found a full recording of this ballet!! it’s the finnish production, so it has different actors/dancers, but it’s the same choreography and music :)

i’ve never really watched a full ballet or read dracula before but this has kind of made want to get into both of those things lol

in bed with what is maybe possibly covid coughing so hard its hurting my back. just finished watching the Finnish national ballet do A Christmas Carol it was so long and yes i cried bro i cry every tiiiime i watch a ballet. even if its not in person. at the right time of the month even just hearing a ballet number will make me tear up. just straight up passing away. i feel wretched. sharing the room with my sister, who gave me The Sickness, and she keeps defending scrooge, grounds for defense being "they need to stop being broke and make their own money. get up and hustle"

🔥 thoughts on the costumes for the Alice in Wonderland ballet?

I'm assuming this about the Wheeldon version, with design by Bob Crowley. Honestly? IMO, they're mid. They're not the worst I've ever seen but I just find them very uninspiring and uncreative. The puppets are rad as hell though. Personally, I think the Finnish Ballet has some lovely traditional Alice costumes. In my dream world, I want a ballet that really leans into the inherent surreal nature of Alice, like the Schiaperelli/Dali collaborations or the Dadaists/Russian Avant-Garde (I'm thinking specifically Kazimir Malevich or Alexander Rodchenko)
