The ballet is inspired by the literary works "The Nutcracker" and "The Mouse King" by writer ETA Hoffman, which are fairy tales in the world of children. "The Nutcracker" tells the story of a little girl named Clara and the Nutcracker Prince who comes from the world of toys. He leads her through the battle with the Mouse King, adventures to the Candy Kingdom and makes friends around the world.
In 1891, the legendary choreographer Marius Petipa staged The Nutcracker to music by the famous Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. A year later, the play premiered in Russia to great success.
Since the mid-20th century, this ballet has been loved by many audiences. Many dance troupes, especially in the United States, stage the play every Christmas, carrying wishes for love, life and a good new year.
The music of the play became one of Tchaikovsky's most famous instrumental works. The Nutcracker Suite is considered the soul of the play, in which Pas De Deux stands out as one of Tchaikovsky's masterpieces with an opening melody with a cello part, then develops in a rapid rhythm, pushing emotions to a climax.
The play opens with a gentle Overture, which takes the audience into a fairy tale world where Clara receives a wooden nutcracker as a Christmas present. While sleeping under the Christmas tree, the nutcracker unexpectedly transforms into a prince and fights the Mouse King. Act Two takes the audience into the festive atmosphere of the Candy Kingdom, where the Sugarplum Fairy and all the sweet colors appear.
The highlight of this year’s program is a live performance by the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra (HBSO) and the HBSO Women’s Choir. The ballet was choreographed by Norwegian artist Johanne Jakhelln Constant, with music conducted by Le Ha My.
In this re-performance, the work features a cast of dancers including Do Hoang Khang Ninh (as Clara and the Sugarplum Fairy), Le Tuan Anh (The Nutcracker Prince), Le Duc Anh (the knight), Chika Tatsumi (Snow Queen), La Man Nhi (Dewdrop), Dang Minh Hien (Drosselmeyer) and students of the Salsa Ballet Center.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893) was one of the greatest Russian composers, famous for his combination of Western romantic style and Russian folk material. He left behind many immortal masterpieces such as the ballet Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty and symphonies, concertos for piano and violin.
