🎶 Pit crew energy, spelled funny 🎶
The Nutcracker is the beloved two act ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, whose name fans have been bravely trying to pronounce, and spell, since 1892 🎶. It premiered on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, from the story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by Hoffmann as adapted by Alexandre Dumas. The ballet follows Clara and her Nutcracker Prince through a battle with the Mouse King into the Land of Sweets, ruled by the Sugar Plum Fairy 🍬. Every December, orchestras in the pit power the whole magic trick, playing the celesta sparkle of the Sugar Plum dance and the sweep of the Waltz of the Flowers. Those musicians are the true pit crew of the season, and this pairing salutes them and the great composer behind it all 🎄.
Nutcracker Pit Crew:
The Nutcracker Pit Crew sticker shows a smiling toy soldier nutcracker in his tall black hat with holly on the brim, music notes floating around his head. Under him sits the crew banner naming the Nutcracker Pit Crew and its founding year, 1892, the year the ballet first hit the stage. It is a badge of honor for the musicians down in the pit who play the score all December long.
Chai Cough Ski:
The Chai Cough Ski sticker spells the composer's name the way it sounds, in chunky gold retro bubble letters with a dark brown shadow. Say it out loud, chai cough ski, and you have been saying Tchaikovsky all along. It is the joke every orchestra kid, ballet dancer, and music teacher has needed on a recital program.
