| Description: The Nutcracker, Tschaikowsky's final ballet, is a timeless holiday classic. Based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, a book by E. T. A. Hoffman, it tells the story of a battle between children's toys, led by the Nutcracker, and an army of mice. After the battle, the Nutcracker becomes a handsome prince and accompanies Clara Stahlbaum, the little girl of the house, to the Kingdom of Sweets. There Clara enjoys a celebration of music and dance, including the popular Dance of the Reed Flutes. |
