The Nutcracker is a well-known short story by E.T.A. Hoffmann. In mid-19th century it was converted into a libretto and became the basis of one of the most famous ballets, still performed in theatres all over the world at Christmas time. The article attempts at showing the reader how the main elements of the work emerged. It analyzes the process of creating the musical score by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and the strictly connected choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. This allows for a comprehensive, in-depth reception of the ballet, which captivates not only the youngest audience. The author of the article also argues in favour of the huge semantic potential of the non-verbal art of dance, which can bring a range of interesting contexts and interpretations out of literature.
