Set to a score by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky and Bohuslav Martinu, Anastasia tells the story of a woman who believes she is the daughter of Czar Nicholas II. If days later you announce--casually--that this music was written by a Russian composer named Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky and that it goes along with a Christmas story about a magic nutcracker, your comments will probably generate some interest. Had Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky visited The Peabody Orlando, he very well might have composed music for a ballet called The "Peabody Nut `Quacker' Suite. |
