Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker was first produced in St. Petersburg on December 17, 1892. It was based on the story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman, although the ballet itself followed a somewhat softened version by Alexander Dumas that made it sweeter and more fairy like. Choreographed by the great Pepita, it has become a popular favorite at Christmas time and is performed by national and neighborhood companies alike. 1992 marks the centennial of the ballet’s first performance and we celebrate that milestone with the production of Nutcracker Barbie.
