- Must See Ballet Shows By:-Mark Walters
One of the most famous and well-loved ballets ever performed is Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. With its magical and melodic score this ballet is an enduring Christmastime favorite. The first version was staged by the legendary choreographer Marius Pepita and premiered in December 1892. The plot revolves around the dream of young girl Clara whose godfather is the maker of the most magical toys. Set at Christmas-time, Clara has a dream that her toys come to life and this beautiful ballet is a visualization of that dream. The Nutcracker has been staged many times with notable versions being choreographed by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolph Nureyev.
