The story of the NUTCRACKER, based on a tale by E.T.A Hoffman, begins with a gala Christmas Eve party at the home of Judge Silberhaus. Uncle Drosselmeyer, the children's favorite relative, arrives and presents Clara, the heroine of the story, with an amazing Nutcracker in the shape of a handsome soldier. To her brother, Franz, he gives a toy sword.
That night, Clara is too excited to sleep. On the stroke of midnight, she creeps downstairs to retrieve the Nutcracker and witnesses a fierce battle between her brother's toy soldiers and hundreds of mice, led by a fierce Mouse King! Clara saves the Nutcracker by throwing her slipper smack at the wicked mouse! Lo and behold, her Nutcracker becomes a handsome Prince.
