Completed in 1892, Tchaikovsky’s entertaining
masterpiece, The Nutcracker, is one of the most popular pieces ever
created for ballet. It is often hailed, along with Swan Lake and
Sleeping Beauty, as one of Tchaikovsky’s three great ballets. A perennial
favourite in theatres and concert halls, especially at Christmastime, The
Nutcracker vividly demonstrates the composer’s virtuosity in creating varied
orchestral colours. Afterwards, don’t forget to join us in a sing-along of some
of the most beloved old carols of the season, and make this Christmas a
especially memorable one!
