Tchaikovsky’s marvelous and enchanting ballet returns to delight Temple Hill this season. The charm and tradition begins with Clara’s awe of the festively adorned Christmas tree. When her wounded nutcracker transforms into the leader of the toy soldiers, a magical adventure transpires with the Mouse King, Clara’s hero the Prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy and various sweets from around the globe. Spectacular dancing, music, sets, costumes and entertainment for all ages.
