The Nutcracker Story
On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a frost-dusted Edwardian London, Clara receives an enchanted toy soldier which is also a nutcracker as a gift from her uncle Drosselmeyer.
Together, they discover a magical world where she battles with the Mouse King and meets a handsome stranger.
As the air grows colder, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a warm air balloon ride across London to the glistening Land of Snow where a puppet theatre comes to life with dancers from around the world.
