History: THE NUTCRACKER BALLET
On December 17, 1892, The Nutcracker ballet premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia. Critics and audience thought it a failure; it was not an instant success.
The adaptation by Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffman (1776-1822).
The score was composed by Peter Tchaikovsky, commissioned by mastermind choreographer Marius Petipa. Tchaikovsky died less than a year later.
The ballet was first performed in the United States in 1944. The Nutcracker has become a classic — many people consider it the most popular ballet in the world.

Hi Raphael
Welcome to CC. I came across your page and you look like a Flame Point kitty like me except I am a Balinese kitty. Oh, we are the same age too. Stop by sometime and visit me. Leaving a vote with a poem dedicated to us cats.
A Cat By An Unknown Author
A CAT is a quiet companion
and constant friend
always happy to keep you company
always willing to patiently wait.
A CAT is more than a pet
with curious eyes
and gentle heart
A CAT is a silent listener
and faithful keeper
of life's joyful moments
and tender heartaches
a CAT is a purrfectly independent
member of the family
clothed in fur
and filled with love!
Head Bonks and Purrs, JynxxCome visit me, Jynxx-Zoe Monique thinks I'm hot Whoo Hoo.
