About

It was not until December 18, 1892 that the première of the entire The Nutcracker took place in St. Petersburg. However, it was not a great success, as the choreographer Marius Petipa became ill during rehearsals and passed it into the hands of his assistant, which did not help improve the quality. Furthermore, the audience was unhappy with the many roles for children. Nevertheless, eight years later, The Nutcracker was part of the standard repertoire in Russia. In Western Europe, the sugar-sweet, fairy-tale ballet soon became a favourite among audiences, and now no-one recalls the “fiendish nightmares” that haunted the composer over this work.
