Welcome to CC Feline FurFriend POPPY 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. •*´¨`*•. ¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸ ::: (\_(\ ...*...*. ..*...*.. *: (=' :') :::::::: Chloe •..
