The Nutcracker
The story of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King was written by E. T. A. Hoffmann. Alexandre Dumas' adaptation of the story was set to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and has become the most popular ballet performed around Christmas time. It is appealing to children and adults alike and has been a standard yearly feature of theatres in many cities.
Suite
The suite derived and abridged from the ballet became more popular than the ballet itself, partly due to its inclusion in Walt Disney's Fantasia. The outline below is not the only one used for the Nutcracker suite, but it is one of the most common.
