Origin
The original production of this show did not turn out to be such a success but even then Tchaikovsky extracted a twenty minute ballet suite from the show and that was pretty huge success and gained a lot of fame. The complete Nutcracker play gained its acceptance in the late 1960’s and is now repeated by a dozen ballet companies, especially during Christmas times. The music compositions given by Tchaikovsky to this play have turned out be extremely hit and famous. The celesta instrument used in the composition gained more attraction by the audience resulting his composition in the Nutcracker a very remember able one.

First Performance
The first performance of this ballet was double premiered at the imperial Marrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, along with Lolanta, Tchaikovsky's last opera, on the 18th of December in the year 1982.Petipa began the work on the choreography of this play in august 1982, Even though the libretto was by pepita as he choreographed the first production, which has also been debated a lot. But the illness of Pepita kept him away from the completion of this play. Lev Ivanov came into picture to complete The Nutcracker. Lev Ivanov was petipa’s assistant for over seven years was now taking care of the Nutcracker. He is often credited as the choreographer of the ballet but the main contemporary accounts roll in the favor of petipa. The roles of the children in the ballet are performed by real adults rather than children themselves, except than the first performance.
