"The Nutcracker" is an 1892 two-act classical ballet by Tchaikovsky set on Christmas Eve in a child's imagination around a magical Nutcracker doll, adapted from earlier literary sources. Though initially less popular than the concert suite Tchaikovsky extracted from it, the full ballet eventually became a beloved classic that remains widely performed today.
