The ballet The Nutcracker, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is one of the most beloved Christmas performances in the world. It was first presented on December 18, 1892, and remains one of the most frequently performed ballets today. The story takes place on Christmas Eve in the home of Dr. Stahlbaum, where his daughter Marie receives a special gift from her godfather Drosselmeyer – a soldier doll named The Nutcracker. When the clock strikes midnight, the room comes alive: toys transform into living beings, and mice led by the fearsome Mouse King appear. The brave Nutcracker stands against them with a small army of Christmas toys. Marie does not abandon her hero and helps him in the battle. This magical ballet, full of beautiful melodies, enchanting scenes, and festive atmosphere, is an inseparable part of Christmas around the world.
