Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Russia in 1840. He wrote the ballet 'The Nutcracker' in 1892, commissioned by the director of the Imperial Theatres and based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King'.
One piece from that ballet, 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,' became particularly well-known. It's a scene where the character Clara enters the Sugar Plum Fairy's realm, with a melody that feels light and shimmering.
Tchaikovsky's life had stretches of personal difficulty and financial strain alongside his composing work. The original 'Nutcracker' production was complicated to stage, with demanding sets and costumes that made it a practical challenge for theaters at the time.
