Nutcrackers, Snow Queens, and Pointe Shoes: The Nutcracker ballet

Before the Snowflakes and Flowers waltzed, before the Arrival of Drosselmeyer and the Mouse King, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaiskovsky read E.T.A. Hoffman's novella and visions of sugar plums danced in his head and onto the stage. In celebration of the Kansas City Ballet's annual performance of "The Nutcracker", Kansas City Public Library has compiled a list of books, films, and audio recordings to enhance your experience at the ballet.
