    I just watched the nutcracker and I was sitting there thinking “there’s gotta be an analysis of this bc I’m kinda confused by who’s who.”

    Critics: “The Nutcracker is terrible and cannot be classified as a ballet.”<br>Stravinsky and Nijinsky: “Allow us to introduce ourselves.” 😂

    I&apos;m here because I&apos;ll be seeing a Ballet show of Nutcracker at a local theater soon so I wanted to have some prior information and background to maximize my enjoyment!

    So it is only since 1954 that Nutcracker is accepted as a ballet performance?
