Well there you go - that IS the version here and I must have been asleep to be unaware of the "Eurotrash" elements you mention because none of us objected!!!
The cover I showed in the original post was the only one I could find on the net (being too lazy to scan the one here) so I used it, assuming it was the same performance, but maybe not.
I'm in tune with most of your objections to Eurotrash with operas but failed to see anything weird about the performance we looked at last night. After all, most of the Nutcracker is a fantasy dream anyway! And we were impressed with the snow scene!!
Bottom line is we all have different tastes. But I respect your opinions Chris - maybe have another look at it and see if you still feel that way?
Cheers
John
