The Nutcracker
E.T.A. Hoffman’s Nutcracker and the Mouse King Music: Peter I. Tchaikovsky Choreography: Marina Fliagina It was Christmas Eve, a night for magic. Anything could happen. The Stahlbaum family is happily preparing for their holiday party. The guest and the children spilled into the parlor. The Christmas tree is suddenly ablaze with lights, which delight the guests. Clara’s godfather Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with very special gifts. The children begin to dance and play. Drosselmeyer entertains the children by disguising himself as a wizard, but Clara recognizes him. He then calls the children around him to view a puppet show. The puppets tell the story of pure hearted Princess, the evil Mouse Queen and the brave Soldier. Herr Drosselmeyer also presents two life size dolls: a Harlequin who dances and gives his heart to lovely Columbine. Finally, Clara’s Godfather brought out a small wooden soldier, no bigger than a doll. His head was large and his features coarse. The strange soldier was a Nutcracker. Clara is very taken with the awkward Nutcracker Soldier doll, and she promises to take good care of him. When Clara danced and played with her new toy her brother Fritz bounded up , grabbed the Nutcracker and broke him. Clara is heartbroken and cries. Godfather Drosselmeyer repairs the Nutcracker with Clara’s ribbon. He tells Clara that true love is the real magic and that she must always take care of her doll. The party comes to an end. The guests leave with their holiday gifts. The house falls dark and silent. Clara crept back to the parlor and cradled her Nutcracker. She curls up with him next to the tree and falls asleep and begins a wonderful dream...
Now the magic begins!
The clock strikes twelve. Bong! The hungry Rats appears with their evil Mouse Queen. Clara gasped. Suddenly, everything including the tree begins to grow. Nutcracker grown as large as Clara. The Fritz’s Tin Soldiers become life-size. The battle begins. The Mouse Queen and her Rats outnumber the Nutcracker and his soldiers. She was about to destroy the Nutcracker when Clara bravely steps forward to protect her Nutcracker with her love and bravery. Her goodness knocks the Mouse Queen helplessly to the ground. The walls of the parlor dissolved into the night. Before Clara’s eyes, the Nutcracker turned into a handsome prince. She was now dressed in the gown of the beautiful princess. What is the truly wonderful magic!! The Prince and his Princess travel through the Snow Forest filled with Snow Fairies. Clara’s unconditional love and bravery have been rewarded. They are greeted by the Snow King and Queen who present them with a magical sleigh to take them to the Kingdom of the Sweets. On the way to a Kingdom of the Sweets, Clara and the Prince were greeted by the delicate Angels. The Sugar Plum Fairy presents Clara with a beautiful magical cape, as a token of gratitude for her bravery. With great ceremony Princess Clara an Prince were led to the banquet hall, where Sugar Plum Fairy beckoned her troupe of Delicacies. The Celebration begins! First to perform were two Hot Chocolates, danced Spanish Fandango. Next come Arabian Coffee. The Chinese Tea Dancers fluttered their fans. High-stepping Russians kicked up their heels. Gingerbread Soldiers was guarding their Candyland Dolls with a crispy candy canes. Mother Ginger rustled up with her children. Next the Dew Drop Fairy escorts them to the Land of the Flowers. Princess Clara dances with her beloved Nutcracker Prince. As the music faded, Clara knew it was time to return home. Sugar Plum Fairy reminds her that wishes come true if you have a pure and loving heart. Frau Stahlbaum awakens Clara from her magical dream, and what a dream it was! No longer in the Kingdom of the Sweets, Clara finds herself beside her own Christmas tree. “Where is my beautiful Nutcracker?” said Clara. He was magically gone. Clara was no longer a princess, but a young girl who has learned the power of love, friendship and devotion to others. Godfather Drosselmeyer arrives for holiday supper with a special guest, his beloved nephew, young Herr Drosselmeyer. Clara marvels at the nephew’s resemblance to the Nutcracker Prince. What a dream!! Clara learned that love must come from inside oneself. It must be unselfish, true, and unconditional. We must love everyone, and rejoice in our differences.
May your holidays be a “Season of Love”
