The Nutcracker & Holiday Show

The Nutcracker Story               

Music by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - From the traditional German folk tale by E.T.A Hoffman

Part l - It is Christmas time in the 1830’s in Clara’s house in old Nuremberg, Germany.  Her parents are hosting the annual family Christmas party.  The last to arrive is the toymaker and magician Godfather Drosselmeyer.  Drosselmeyer has brought many gifts of toys, puppets, and three life-sized dolls for the children, and a big hand-made wooden Nutcracker in the shape of a soldier, for Clara.  Her naughty brother Fritz, steals the Nutcracker and breaks it.  After Drosselmeyer repairs the Nutcracker, it is time for the guests to depart.  When everyone has gone to bed, Clara comes downstairs to view the Nutcracker under the tree.  She then falls asleep and has a fantastic dream.  An army of mice led by their Mouse King emerge.  The Nutcracker summons his army of soldiers to battle with the mice.  The Nutcracker falls, and just as the Mouse King is about to do away with him, Clara saves him by striking the Mouse King with her slipper.  The battle is then won by Clara and the soldiers. At intermission, Angels and Angel Helpers come on stage. 

Part II- The Nutcracker Prince brings Clara to the Kingdom of Sweets for some entertainment.  First is the Spanish, followed by the Arabian, Chinese, Russian, Tarantella, Flutes, Flowers, and Sugar Plum dances and Madame Bon Bon with her Candies.  Clara awakens near the Christmas tree and sees her wooden soldier Nutcracker and realizes it was all just a dream.
