Museum Selection Nutcracker Decorations
Description
Set of 5 wooden, painted Nutcracker decorations inspired by the characters from ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ (1816), written by Prussian author E.T.A. Hoffmann, (1776–1822) in which young Marie Stahlbaum’s favourite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. In 1892, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned an adaptation of the story into the ballet ‘The Nutcracker’.
