The Nutcracker Story: A Family Favourite Christmas Tradition

It is a Christmas Eve party at the Stahlbaum home. A special guest, Herr Drosselmeyer arrives to charm the children with gifts and magic. Drosselmeyer gives his god-daughter, Clara, the special gift of a Nutcracker and a magical dream. As midnight strikes, Clara falls asleep and dreams of a battle between raging rats, mischievous mice and steadfast soldiers. The Nutcracker comes to life. Drosselmeyer takes Clara on a journey through a pine forest where Angels light the way to a winter wonderland.

The Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes Clara and the Nutcracker to her magical kingdom where they are enchanted by dancers from around the world.

Clara wakes to find it was all a wonderful dream that will stay with her forever.
