At the Stahlbaum’s Christmas Eve party, their daughter, Clara, receives a nutcracker. Later, she dreams of a battle with the Rat King, a land of sweets, a handsome prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. This year’s ballet features new choreography, elaborate backdrops, magical sets, incredible costumes and beautiful dancing performed by our local dance community with professional dancers in principal roles.
