The story
When a Christmas gift comes to life…
Clara’s Christmas takes an extraordinary turn when the mysterious
Drosselmeyer gives her a Nutcracker. As the night fills with magic,
toys spring to life and the fearsome Mouse King appears.
An exciting encounter unfolds before the Nutcracker becomes a
handsome prince. Clara is magically transformed into the
Sugar Plum Fairy before the prince leads her into a
shimmering winter wonderland, where dancing
snowflakes swirl through a world of beauty and enchantment.
A world of wonderful characters
Clara • The Nutcracker Prince • The Sugar Plum Fairy
