About The Nutcracker Tickets
In 1816, E.T.A. Hoffman wrote a story called The Nutcracker and the King of Mice, and Alexander Dumas adapted the tale a few years later. Using Tchaikovsky music, a choreographer called Marius Petipa turned the plot into a dance that debuted in 1892. One of the most popular ballet productions in the world, this holiday classic ranks with Frosty the Snowman, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The performance includes "Russian Dance" and "Waltz of the Flowers" as well as Spanish dancers, Chinese dancers, and other surprises. If you enjoy Tchaikovsky ballets like Sleeping Beauty or Swan Lake, you will love this creative fantasy.
