The Nutcracker is a classical ballet that tells the story of a young girl who receives a nutcracker toy at Christmas. The toy gets broken and transforms into a prince who takes her on a journey through a magical land of snow and sweets. The ballet was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and first performed in 1892. The plot is an adaptation of two short stories: Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 short story “The Nutcracker”, a retelling of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s 1816 “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”. More info:
