A staple of Utah culture, Tchaikovsky’s 1892 masterpiece, The Nutcracker, was his last ballet. Every year since 1963, Ballet West has performed Willam Christensen’s original version, replicating the first American performance of the complete ballet that he produced in San Francisco in 1944. The story, based on a children’s fairy tale by E. T. A. Hoffmann, is set in Nürnberg, Germany on Christmas Eve, where family and friends have gathered in the parlor. During the opening number, Decoration and Lighting of the Christmas Tree, the parents are busy trimming the tree. Nine o’clock strikes and the children with some friends burst into the scene and all join in a lively March around the room.
