The Oxford dictionary of dance, 2000 (Nutcracker, The; ballet in two acts with choreography by Ivanov, libretto by Petipa, music by Tchaikovsky, and designs by M.I. Botcharov, K. Ivanov, and I. Vsevolojsky; premiered 18 Dec. 1892 at Maryinsky Theatre in St Petersburg; most performed ballet in the world; based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Der Nussknacker und der Mäusekönig; little of the Ivanov choreography has survived and the ballet has been open to much reinterpretation by modern choreographers; virtually every large-scale ballet company in the world has its own version)
International encyclopedia of dance, 1998 (Nutcracker, The; two-act ballet based on a fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann; Russian title: Shchelkunchik; the perceived flaws of the first production induced later choreographers to seek new interpretations; there have been many restagings of The Nutcracker in the West)
