Nutcracker Story

First performed in Russia in 1892, The Nutcracker  tells the timeless story of a little girl named Clara and her Christmas Eve adventure to the Land of Sweets.

 

The two act ballet features music composed by Tchaikovsky, including popular selections “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “Waltz of the Flowers.”

 

The classic production brings to life the memorable characters of Drosselmeyer, the kindly toymaker, the evil Rat King and his army, and of course, the noble Nutcracker who transforms into a human prince.
