Nutcracker Facts

Wierd Nutcracker Facts:
The music to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Ballet Suite was not first performed at Christmas. Its premier was spring, 1892.
The music was so popular that the score was published before the ballet premiered.
When the ballet was first performed on Dec 17, 1892, it received mixed reviews. Some said that the music was too complicated to dance to.
The story of the nutcracer was taken not directly from Hoffman's The Nutcracker and The King of the Mice but from a French version of the tale written by Alexander Dumas Pere, The Nutcracker of Nuremberg..
Tchaikovsky died of cholera in St. Petersburg (Russia) on October 28, 1893, less than a year from the first performance of his ballet, and would never realize the success it received.
