The Nutcracker ballet premiered in St Petersburg in December As popular as this ballet is today, it is difficult to imagine that this first production was not a success. The audience gave the new work a lukewarm reception, claiming the story was weak and the score was disjointed, with its lush orchestration too overpowering for the dancing.
Many had difficulty in reconciling the Act I narrative with the Act ll divertissement. Critics slated it both musically and choreographically and The Nutcracker closed after only 14 performances. However, the enchanting and magical story of The Nutcracker has endured and remains throughout the world one of the most popular ballets. Tchaikovsky created three ballet masterpieces, all of which were not only of unequalled scope for their time but which have become modern-day cornerstones of ballet repertoire.
The popularity of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker are beyond question, even if initial reactions to them were far from laudatory. A Classic Tale This brand new production follows the classic Russian tale of Maria, the little girl whose love brings to life her cherished Nutcracker doll - a magical Christmas gift from her mysterious godfather - leading to adventures with the Mouse King, the enchanted Prince, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. In the warm glow of the Romanov family home, the childish laughter of young Alexander and Maria Romanov and their friends is heard, as they excitedly unwrap Christmas presents of colourful toy soldiers, beautiful dolls, and, to the disdain of the adults, noisy drums and trumpets!

This work was a morbid story, never intended for children, which portrayed a bleak view of humanity and relationships. L Nicholson. Ruth Verrinder. Carol Driver.
