Romantic, in the second half of the 1800s.
Tchaikovsky was not on the whole a nationalist composer in the same vein as Borodin, Moussorgsky and the rest of the "mighty five." His music in general, including The Nutcracker, is less consciously based on Russian sounds. In the second act of the ballet there is a divertissement or program performed for Clara and her nutcracker prince, which includes character dances in the style of various countries, and there Tchaikovsky includes a Russian Dance and another titled "Mother Gigogne and the Tumblers", which has a Russian flavor.
Popular music (Billboard hits) are not a good example of musical nationalism.
Phantom is a musical; the Nutcracker is a ballet. Phantom has a phantom; the Nutcracker has dancing mice. Phantom has a falling chandelier; the Nutcracker has a Sugarplum Fairy.
