Event Details
The Nutcracker begins on Christmas Eve. Clara, a young girl, eagerly awaits the arrival of her family's Christmas party. Among the gifts is a beautiful nutcracker in the shape of a soldier. During the party, Clara's mischievous brother, Fritz, accidentally breaks the nutcracker. As the clock strikes midnight, strange things begin to happen. Clara finds herself magically transported to a fantastical world. Each character performs a beautiful dance to entertain Clara, and as the festivities end, Clara awakens from her dream, finding herself back in her home. The Nutcracker ballet has become a holiday tradition worldwide, captivating audiences with its timeless tale of adventure, magic, and the spirit of Christmas. Study guides for all of the Smart Stage Matinees will be available for download prior to each production (link to DOWNLOAD THE STUDY GUIDE). Recommended for Grades 2-12
