The perennial Christmas favourite of toys who come to life at night –with magical music by Tchaikovsky. On Christmas Eve, Marie’s godfather, Drosselmeyer, offers her a nutcracker in the shape of a soldier. At midnight, after the celebrations are over, Marie watches a miracle: the Christmas tree begins to grow, the toys come to life and all the lead soldiers are under Nutcracker’s command. The Mouse King and its army of mice declare war. Nutcracker flies to Marie’s rescue as she is threatened by the mice army…
