This children's chorus score is for The Nutcracker, Op. 71, Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's (1840–1893) two-act “fairy ballet.” It is based on E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” The children's chorus is listed as available separately.
The original 1892 production in Saint Petersburg, choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, was not considered a success, while the 20-minute suite extracted by the composer was. Since the 1960s, the full ballet has grown enormously in popularity, with frequent performances every Christmas season among major ballet companies.
