A classic holiday ballet, no other character is as central to The Nutcracker as the colorful, wooden nutcracker itself. Carved in the likeness of a foot soldier by a gifted toymaker and godfather of heroine Clara, this beloved hero is showcased in a 1oz pure silver legal tender coin applied with vibrant color and housed in a special ornament-style hanger capsule. A unique keepsake or to adorn a holiday tree!
Premiering in 1892 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The ballet’s narrative is an adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. Thanks to Tchaikovsky’s innovative use of the chime-like instrument, the cinesta, the ballet’s musical score is today instantly identifiable and a melodic icon of popular culture
