The Nutcracker's Birthday is December 6th, 1892. Its birthplace is Mariinsky Theatre, Saint-Petersburg. From the playbill of the period we learn that it was ballet in two acts and three episodes and was put together by great Marius Petipa. The plot is borrowed from E. Hoffmann's fairy tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and that dances were composed by L. Ivanov to the score of P. Tchaikovsky.

V.Krasovskaja compared the Waltz of the Snow Flakes with a prologue in the Sleeping Beauty: "While in the dances of his fairies Petipa expressed unruly, unstoppable and unconquerable life’s vigor, Ivanov showed us magical dream, the still of the winter that hides nature’s formidable forces."

The ballet as staged by Petipa and choreographed by Ivanov was greatly loved by dancers and audiences alike, but despite of its popularity was dropped from Mariinsky’s repertoire 31 years after its premiere.

It is Christmas Eve at the private house - a large but cozy home, full of family heirlooms and echoing with chimes of the old grandfather clock. And in the center is the magnificent Christmas tree with many shiny packaged presents under it.

The first act of family joy is replaced by nightmare vision in which the battle between Nutcracker and the Mouse King takes place. The third and the final episode transports us to the wonderful world of magic, world where dreams come true.

SYNOPSIS

ACT I

The action takes place in an old German town at the start of the last century but one. Night is falling. It is Christmas Eve and the streets are busy and festive. Drosselmeyer, an eccentric inventor and toy maker loved by children, is among those invited to see the Christmas tree at the large, brightly lit house of Herr Stahlbaum.
The drawing room in Herr Stahlbaum´s house is beautifully decorated. The guests assemble. Drosselmeyer enters carrying presents.
The party is ready to start. The children rush in.
There is a game of blind man´s buff and Drosselmeyer takes part. He is blindfolded. Masha, Herr Stahlbaum´s young daughter, is the first to be caught.
After the games, there is dancing. Now dressed as a magician, Drosselmeyer does magic tricks and puts on a puppet show–The Mouse King Wishes to Kidnap the Princess, but the Courageous Nutcracker Kills the Mouse King and Saves the Princess.
Drosselmeyer´s ideas seem inexhaustible. He makes clockwork toys including a clown, a doll and a blackmail dance for the children. The Nutcracker, however, is Masha´s favourite.
Franz takes the Nutcracker from Masha and the head comes off in his hands. Drosselmeyer quickly mends the Nutcracker. Masha cuddles and comforts her damaged favourite. It is late and the guests must depart. The party comes to an end with some dances.
Masha says goodnight to the Nutcracker and the candles on the tree are extinguished. Masha´s nanny takes her to bed.


ACT II

Masha goes to bed and falls asleep. She dreams that mice have taken over the drawing room. They are headed by the Mouse King.
The Nutcracker leads the tin soldiers in the attack. Masha follows him. Overcoming her fear, she throws her slipper at the Mouse King at a decisive point in the battle, thus saving the Nutcracker. The Mouse King has been defeated and disappears together with his troops.
Drosselmeyer turns Masha and the Nutcracker into a beautiful Prince and Princess. They are caught up in a blizzard and their journey to a fairy-tale land begins.


ACT III

Masha and the Nutcracker are sailing along a magical river. The Nutcracker drives away some bats and clears the way to an enchanted island.
Celebrations begin. Masha and the Nutcracker are delighted. They dance and celebrate with the others.


EPILOGUE

Masha is asleep in bed. It will soon be morning. Her magical dream is over. Masha awakes.
