The Nutcracker is a fairy tale-ballet in two acts and three scenes, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), composed in 1891-1892. It was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The libretto is adapted from E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King". It was given its première at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on Friday, December 18th, 1892. In Western countries, The Nutcracker has become perhaps the most popular of all ballets, mainly represented around Christmas.

In an old German town in the early nineteenth century on Christmas Eve, people prepare for the party. Among the guests invited to the Stalbaum´s house is a crazy old man, inventor of toys and a true friend of children, Drosselmeyer. The living room of the house is decorated for the holidays. Guests are arriving. Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts. Children come running in. They begin to play blind man's buff.

This is the first act of The Nutcracker, which will be interpreted by the Russian Imperial Ballet on 13 December at Jerez Villamarta Theatre. Tickets are priced between 18 and 30 € and can be purchased on the website of telentrada, phone 902 101 212 and the theater box office.
