This captivating inside look at The Nutcracker ballet, which will
delight readers with its retelling of the story and
behind-the-scenes portrayal is lavishly illustrated with thrilling
performance and backstage photographs from ballet companies across
the country. It begins with the story of The Nutcracker. We join
the charming Clara, her mischievous brother Fritz and their family
at a Christmas Eve party and meet Clara's godfather, the mysterious
Dr. Drosselmeyer. He presents her with a marvellous gift, a
nutcracker doll. As Clara goes to sleep that night, we are
transported into the growing fantasy of the Mouse King, the
enchanted, snow-covered forest, the Nutcracker Prince, the Kingdom
of the Sweets and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Then, we see the reality of
what goes on backstage to create the magic of the performance. Each
chapter is devoted to a single Nutcracker character or group of
characters: Clara and her prince, Mother Ginger and her
Polichnelles, Angels and Snowflakes and Flowers. The authors touch
on auditions, guest artists, dancer training, the birth of
Tchaikovsky's unforgettable musical score, costumes, makeup and who
does what behind the curtain. and choreographers highlight the
text.
