Description
One of Tchaikovsky’s most enduring legacies are his ballets, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Swan Lake” and of course “Nutcracker”. Ballet is a theatrical performance which tells a story using music, costumes, sets, and dance. “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” is a Christmas story in which young Marie Stahlbaum’s favorite toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, becomes a Prince and whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. “Chinese Dance” is a part of a large scene in the ballet, where Marie and Prince travel to the Land of Sweets. A celebration of desserts from around the world is produced, and “Chinese Dance” is depicting the tea from China.
