The Nutcracker Beloved Classic

Ivan Alexandrovitch Vsevolojsky, the director of the Imperial Theaters, proposed a partnership between choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky. It was Vsevolojsky, who had been in the diplomatic corps in Paris, who convinced the great Tchaikovsky to write for the ballet again. Vsevolojsky was also a minor librettist and a designer himself. Up until his time as director, many different artists would independently design the decor for a single production with no heed to what the others were doing, nor to the ballet. Music was ordered by the yard from obliging but not distinguished composers. Vsevolojsky is notable as securing the collaboration of all the artists involved in producing a ballet.
