The Nutcracker (ballet)
Refers specifically to Tchaikovsky's ballet. The literal meaning is 'nutcracker doll', but in Japanese this compound is strongly associated with the ballet title.
At the end of the year, we went as a family to see The Nutcracker.
Compound of くるみ (walnut) + 割り (cracking) + 人形 (doll). The title is a direct translation of the ballet's name.
