The Story
The Nutcracker Ballet is based on the story “The Nutcracker and the King of Mice” written by E.T.A. Hoffman and set to music by the legendary Peter Tschaikovsky. Although what is seen on the stage these days is different in detail from the original story, the basic plot remains the same; the story of a young German girl who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince and a fierce battle against a Mouse King.

As the story unravels, the audience is propelled into the world of the young Nutcracker and his quest to conquer his adversaries, win the heart of the discerning maiden and persevere against all odds in the most majestic and magical manner
