Sunday, went to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Macon, Georgia. I had never seen the ballet, but always knew the music. The symphonic ballet was composed in the 1890's, by Peter (Pyotr) Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Like Handel's Messiah, the Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71 has been performed during the Christmas Season. The kids loved it, especially Act II with the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. This portion of the music features the celesta, which is very memorable. It was great. The occasion was a gathering of family and friends. Warm Christmas greetings to everyone.
