My Choice – Tchaikovsky: Waltz of the Flowers (Orchids)
The beautiful Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker by Tchaikowsky.showing photos of Orchids in Vietnam. The Nutcracker, a two-act ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is perhaps the composer’s best-loved and most famous work. Tchaikovsky’s adaptation of the story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by ETA Hoffmann was commissioned by the director of the Imperial Theatres Ivan Vsevolozhsky in 1891. The original production was staged by Marius Petipa on 18 December 1892, premiering on a double-bill with a now semi-forgotten Tchaikovsky opera, Iolanta. Tchaikovsky made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet before the ballet’s December 1892 premiere, forming The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, intended for concert performance. The suite was first performed, under the composer’s direction, on 19 March 1892 at an assembly of the St. Petersburg branch of the Musical Society. The suite became instantly popular but the complete ballet did not begin to achieve its great popularity until after the George Balanchine staging became a hit in New York City.
