The legendary ballet "The Nutcracker" has undoubtedly gained the status of a world classic and the love of the audience, becoming the most popular show of the holiday season. Many of the most prestigious theaters in the world include it in their repertoire. The two-act ballet is based on E. T. A. Hoffmann's fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King". The magical music for the ballet was already created in the 19th century by the composer Piotr Tchaikovsky. The choreography was created by the French dancer, ballet master and pedagogue Marius Petipa. Among his most important productions are Don Quixote, Bayadere, Raymond, The Enchanted Princess and Swan Lake.
"The Nutcracker" premiered in 1892. The ballet was conducted by the Italian composer Riccardo Eugenio Drigo, while the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy was played by the Italian prima ballerina Antonietta Dell'Era. The long-awaited hour of fame for "The Nutcracker" came much later in the United States, when in 1954 choreographer George Balanchine presented his version of this work to the world at the New York City Ballet Theater. Already at the end of the 60s of the 20th century, "The Nutcracker" became a ballet without which the most anticipated holiday of the year is unimaginable.
"The Nutcracker" is a ballet where miracles come to life! While the Christmas lights twinkle outside the window and the mystery of the holiday is in the air, the curtain rises and the real magic begins. "The Nutcracker" is an unforgettable journey into the world of dreams and fantasy, where every sound and every movement tells of miracles, faith and limitless imagination.
