The Nutcracker
The mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer arrives at the Stahlbaum Christmas with a special gift for Clara - a wooden nutcracker. As she falls asleep under the huge Christmas tree the room fills with giant mice that attack Clara. Life-size toy soldiers, led by her valiant Nutcracker, come to her rescue. The King Rat attacks the Nutcracker, but Clara hits him with her shoe and the Nutcracker wins the battle and is transformed into a handsome prince. Their adventures continue into the Land of Snow, across the Lemonade Sea and into the Kingdom of Sweets. As the adventure draws to a close, Clara drifts off to sleep. She awakens in bed, as the Nutcracker Prince salutes his princess Clara. An annual Christmas classic performed by the Dubuque City Youth Ballet you don’t want to miss!
