The Nutcracker was written by Tchaikovsky in 1891 and debuted at the Mariinsky Theatre in Russia. The story takes place during Christmas Eve, which is why it's typically performed around this time of year. It tells the story of a young girl named Clara who uses her toy nutcracker to defeat an army of mice led by the evil Mouse King. It is one of the most famous ballets in history and has been performed all over the world.  It is a two-act ballet choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. It's hard to believe the original production was not a success as the dancers seemed ambivalent and confused. Even the libretto was criticized as lopsided. Now the Nutcracker Spectacle is performed by all the major ballet companies every year even making over 40% of their annual ticket revenue from just that one show!
