The Nutcracker Suite   When I was a child, I used to go to the theater very often with my grandmother Irene and the ballet I liked the most was the Nutcracker. I could not miss it during Christmas. The Nutcracker is based on the story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E.T.A. Hoffman. The music was composed by P. I. Tchaikowsky in 1892. The original story is about Marie, a girl in a loveless household fighting against a mouse king with seven heads. :: CLICK HERE TO BEGIN THE STORY ::       | Back to the Christmas Menu | Page created on: December 4th 2001.  [ Site Index ] [ Home ] Midi: Tchaikowsky's "Overture" from the Nutcracker Suite, from Classical Archives. ~ Graphics by Irene ~     Nothing in this site is Public Domain.
