Join a troupe of ballet dancers as they rehearse a scene from one of the most beloved ballets of all time, The Nutcracker. Originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, with a score by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the world renowned libretto was premiered in 1892. While it was not initially a success, it gained huge popularity in the late 1960s and is now performed by countless ballet companies, primarily during the Christmas season, especially in North America. Major American ballet companies generate around 40% of their annual ticket revenues from performances of The Nutcracker.
