Sinopsis
“The Nutcracker” is a famous ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and is based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” It premiered on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Although the initial reception was mixed, “The Nutcracker” has since become one of the most popular and frequently performed ballets worldwide, particularly during the holiday season.
The ballet is typically divided into two acts, with three main scenes in each act. The first act sets the stage for the magical journey, taking place on Christmas Eve at a festive gathering. The character Drosselmeyer, a toymaker and magician, plays a prominent role in orchestrating the magical events. The children, including Marie
(also known as Clara), eagerly anticipate the arrival of Christmas gifts and the enchantment that accompanies the holiday season.
