Country in which the nutcracker story originated?
First performed by the Imperial Russian Ballet at the Maryinski Theatre, St. Petersburg, in December, 1892, The Nutcracker ballet was a collaborative effort. Master choreographer Maruis Petipa (1819-1910), a Frenchman, set the staging; Lev Ivanov (1834-1901) was the actual choreographer; and composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) wrote the score to follow Petipa's staging. The Ballet's story originates from a rather complex short story written in 1816 by E.T.A. Hoffman (1776-1822) called Der Nussknacker und Mausekonig (The Nutcracker and the Mouse King) and from a then popular French version of Hoffman's story written in 1845 by Alexander Dumas, père (1802-1870) titled Casse Noisette (The Nutcracker). Although not performed in this country until the 1940s, it has become a holiday favorite. The Ballet is set in late 18th century Nuremberg, Germany at the home of the wealthy Dr. and Frau Stahlbaum. The Ballet is a nostalgic story of a family Christmas celebration and a little girl's fanciful dream of adventure, a Prince, and a far away Kingdom of Sweets!
