In 1892, a ballet premiered at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker was born into the world.
In a snowscape on a Christmas foot, magic appears under a Christmas tree.
A young girl’s Nutcracker doll comes to life, and to carry her to the dream world of dolls, he must defeat the evil Mouse King. This is the plot of Alexandre Dumas's 1844 short story The Nutcracker; a retelling of Prussian author E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.
Written as an orchestra with multiple woodwinds, percussion, keyboard, brass and string instruments, The Nutcracker is one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular compositions. Although initially not a favourite, The Nutcracker has established itself as one of the essential holiday classics.
