"Watching a performance of The Nutcracker this time of year is as traditional as decorating a Christmas tree. Originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story of a young girl and a nutcracker doll that comes to life on Christmas Eve, the ballet debuted in 1892, and is perhaps the most adapted of all time."
