The holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones. And what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by enjoying the timeless classic, The Nutcracker? The State Ballet Theater of Ukraine is a renowned team that brings this beloved fairy tale to life with breathtaking performances. It tells the story of a young girl's journey through a magical world of fairies, princes, and an army of mice. With Tchaikovsky's iconic holiday melodies such as "Waltz of the Flowers," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "Waltz of the Snowflakes," and more, this performance is sure to captivate and delight audiences of all ages.
A group of guests gathered at the Stahlbaums' house to celebrate the New Year's holiday. One of the guests is Drosselmeyer, the godfather of Marie and Fritz, who has brought a delightful gift for the children - a comical Nutcracker.
Excitement builds as the children eagerly await the unveiling of the Christmas tree and holiday gifts. The moment finally arrives, and the elegant tree captivates everyone's attention. Suddenly, Drosselmeyer appears dressed as a wizard, much to the surprise of the children.
The unfamiliar guest's ability to bring toys to life is both enchanting and unsettling, as mystery often is. To ease any fears, Drosselmeyer reveals himself as the children's beloved godfather.
Marie is eager to play with the animated dolls but finds they have already been taken away. In a kind gesture, Drosselmeyer gifts her the Nutcracker, a clumsy yet endearing little toy.
Fritz, the mischievous brother, accidentally breaks a toy, prompting Marie to comfort her injured plaything. Meanwhile, Fritz and his friends, disguised as mice, tease the distressed Marie. As the guests begin to leave, Drosselmeyer bids his farewells, concluding the night's festivities.
It was nighttime, and Marie found herself in the room next to the Christmas tree illuminated by the moon. The setting seemed mysterious and full of magical mystery. Despite her fears, Marie had come to visit the "sick" Nutcracker and comfort him. She hugged and rocked him in her arms.
Suddenly, Drosselmeyer appeared and worked his magic. He was no longer just a good godfather but a powerful sorcerer. With a wave of his hand, the walls of the room shifted, and the tree began to grow. The toys in the room also transformed.
The peaceful moment was interrupted when a water mouse led by the evil Mouse King emerged from under the floorboards, causing panic among the dolls. Only the brave Nutcracker's resourcefulness and courage saved the day. He lined up the tin soldiers and led them into battle against the mouse army. However, the mice had the upper hand, and the Nutcracker was left alone to face the Mouse King and his retinue. Marie was heartbroken, fearing for her beloved Nutcracker's safety. But Drosselmeyer came to the rescue, providing a burning candle that Marie used to scare off the mice.
Sadly, the Nutcracker lay motionless on the floor, and Marie and the dolls rushed to his aid. Suddenly, a miracle occurred before Marie's eyes: the Nutcracker transformed into a handsome young prince who walked towards her. The walls of the house disappeared, and Marie and her friends found themselves under the starry sky, near a magnificent Christmas tree. Snowflakes danced around them, and Marie and the Nutcracker sat in a magical boat, sailing towards the star at the top of the tree. The dolls followed them.
In the second act, Marie and the Nutcracker sail through the Christmas tree kingdom, accompanied by their doll friends. As they approached the shining star at the top of the tree, the mice and the Mouse King attacked them. However, the brave Nutcracker Prince fought back and emerged victorious. The dolls celebrated the victory by dancing, and the tree came to life with the brightness of the candles.
But it was all just a dream, and Marie found herself back in reality, sitting next to her Christmas tree, holding her Nutcracker doll. Despite the dream's ending, Marie felt grateful for the magical experience.
