Written by P.I, Tchaikovsky and choreographed by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa, the greatest ballet master of his era, The Nutcracker was originally staged on December 18, 1892 in St. Petersburg, quickly falling into semi-obscurity over the next several decades.  Then, on December 24, 1944 — in the midst of World War II — the San Francisco Ballet debuted the first complete staging of the ballet in the United States, sparking an absolute sensation that necessitated an annual tradition.  Since then, The Nutcracker has become virtually synonymous with Christmas in America, and it's become an absolute must-catch for millions of fans.
