Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," this classic ballet features music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov.

Over the years, it has become a staple performance across the globe during the Christmas season, celebrated for its elaborate costumes, captivating dance, and engaging music.
