The NutcrackerMusic by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Staged and Choreographed by Dace Dindonis & Sergey Kozadayev

Sets Designed and Executedby David Higgins

Act IThe Von Stahlbaums are getting ready to receive their party guests whoarrive, family by family, bearing gifts for the hosts' children, Clara and Fritz.

The presents are all carefully placed beneath the Christmas tree and given tothe children as they step up. Dr. Drosselmeyer, the most mysterious man inthe whole town, arrives with a marvelous group of mechanical dolls and a finenutcracker for Clara.

Fritz is jealous of Clara's new toy and snatches it from her. Spurred on by theother boys, he plays with it so energetically that he breaks it! Drosselmeyerrestores the nutcracker to health and returns it to Clara. The guests perform acontredanse, after which they depart and the hosts prepare for bed.

Clara returns after everyone is asleep and is startled by mice which havegrown to life-size!

Dr. Drosselmeyer reappears and magically causes wondrous things to hap-pen. The tree grows, the toys come to life, and the Nutcracker becomes lifesize to protect Clara from the mice. A furious battle ensues between the toysoldiers led by the Nutcracker and the mice led by their king. At the height ofthe battle Clara strikes the mouse king with her shoe and the defeated miceflee.

The Nutcracker, released from a spell, turns into a handsome prince and takesClara on a magical trip through the Kingdom of Snow and beyond.

Act IIClara's voyage takes her to the Kingdom of Sweets where she is greeted by theSugar Plum Fairy. A series of entertaining divertissements are ordered and theSugar Plum Fairy dances with the Prince. When the festivities are over,everyone bids good-bye to Clara who sorrowfully makes her journeyhomeward.
