I thought it would be fun to compile all the tutu character themes into one post, especially for anyone who’s not as familiar with the music! I’m almost certainly missing some so please send in suggestions and I’ll add them to the post.
Princess Tutu Character Themes:
Duck:
Tchaikovsky’s nutcracker overture. Fun fact she sings her own theme in the first episode!
youtube
Princess Tutu:
Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers
youtube
Fakir:
Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture (mainly when he’s either in a fight or antagonizing mytho or Duck):
youtube
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade: the Story of the Kalendar Prince (the main theme of episode 12, which plays as he and Duck search for Mytho. It’s also used in season 2 mainly in reference to his writing).
youtube
Princess Kraehe:
Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1 (plays most notably when she first transforms into Kraehe in episode 7)
youtube
Mytho:
Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (plays during our very first introduction to mytho! If you see him dancing a solo 99% of the time it’s going to be to this song)
youtube
Richard Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll
youtube
Richard Wagner’s Siegfried’s Funeral March (Raven Mytho’s Theme)
youtube
Drosselmeyer:
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker March, often altered to sound more foreboding
youtube
Miss Edel:
Delibes’ Coppelia: Musique des Automates. Notable because it all but spoils that she’s a puppet for those familiar with the plot of Coppelia
youtube
