The Nutcracker Ballet is based on the story "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice" written by E.T.A. Hoffman. Although what is seen on the stage today is different in detail from the original story, the basic plot remains the same; The story of a young German girl who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince and a fierce battle against a Mouse King with seven heads.
In 1891, the choreographer Marius Petipa commissioned legendary Russian composer Tchaikovsky to write the music for the Nutcracker Ballet.
In 1892, the first showing of the Nutcracker took place at the Mariinsky Theatre of Russia, home of the Kirov Ballet.
The Nutcracker made its way to Western Europe in the 1930's and to America by 1940.........
P.S. This is a wonderful performance of the Kirov ballet , from St Petersburg, Russia
