Enchantment's event hits the grid starting this weekend, Saturday November 13th at 12:00 noon SLT. This round is The Nutcracker, and will run until December 4th.
The original author of "Nutcracker and Mouse King" was E.T.A Hoffman in 1810, who wrote it after reading the score for Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Interestingly, his version was decidedly darker than the version by Alexandre Dumas. In 1892, a team music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky turned Dumas' version into a Russian ballet, and this is the version which forms our familiarity.
At Christmastime, little Klara is given a Nutcracker by her uncle. Her brother is given a toy mouse. Her brother takes the Nutcracker and during Klara's struggle to get it back, the Nutcracker is broken. At bedtime, Klara returns to the gathering room to retrieve her broken toy and falls asleep on the couch cuddling it. The Nutcracker turns into a handsome prince. After battling with Mouse King, the prince rewards Klara with a trip to a delightful world of his origins. Thus begins Klara's colorful dream. Sounding like Dorothy's adventures from The Wizard of Oz? I think so. Or maybe that is more like the original Nutcracker and Mouse King!
