The Story of

The Nutcracker

It is Christmas Eve and the home of Judge Silberhaus and his wife bustles with activity as they prepare for the party they are hosting. The children, Fritz and Clara, are filled with anticipation...

The children's Godfather, Dr. Drosselmeir, arrives and presents Clara with a fabulous Nutcracker doll. Filled with jealousy, Fritz grabs the doll and throws it to the floor. Godfather Drosselmeir comforts Clara and does his best to mend the broken Nutcracker. The guests depart and the family retires for the evening.
Later, Clara quietly returns to the drawing room to retrieve her precious Nutcracker. She becomes drowsy and falls asleep in the room.

Clara is awakened by the sound of the huge clock striking twelve. Suddenly, the room is filled with mice and soldiers doing battle and led by the Nutcracker, himself! Finally, fearing for her poor Nutcracker, Clara throws her shoe and defeats the giant Mouse King and his army.

The Nutcracker leads Clara through an Enchanted Snowy Forest, pausing to meet the Snow King and Queen, and continues until they arrive at the Land of Sweets.

There, they are greeted by the Sugar-Plum Fairy. A grand ceremony, in Clara's honor, is held and she is entertained with numerous dances.

Finally, the Sugar-Plum Fairy and her Cavalier perform a sparkling "dance for two" and Clara's magical journey comes to an end.
