 Lance Mannion: Nutcracker suite
The Nutcracker, I said, is a wonderful fairy tale but it isn't either explicitly or symbolically about the birth of Jesus or what Jesus's birth meant for people.
I said that you could see images of Christ in The Nutcracker: Clara is us, the Nutcracker is Jesus, the Mouse King is the Devil, the Battle is Armaggedon, and then "he takes her to a magical kingdom" which has people from many countries.
Just because The Nutcracker can be seen as the story of a young girl's sexual awakening--and I think it is, too!--that doesn't mean that it can't also be seen as a Jesus story.

 Tchaikovsky: ``Nutcracker'' Suite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The ballet was to be based on E.T.A. Hoffman's story ``The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,'' a selection which Tchaikovsky disliked (the subject had been forced upon him).
Nevertheless, he began work in early 1892 before departing on a successful tour of the United States, and completed the music later that summer, though he disparaged it as ``infinitely poorer than The Sleeping Beauty,'' a verdict with which subsequent ballet-goers have most emphatically and consistently disagreed.
An interesting footnote to the score of The Nutcracker is the famous use of the celesta in the Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

When listening to these ballet suites, somehow I just couldn't envision the action that I'm used to seeing on stage presentations of these three selections.
The solid structure is still there, but the musicians seemed re-invigorated by the presence of the great cellist Rostropovich at the podium rather than as a soloist and they rise majestically to the occasion.
