The San Francisco Ballet presents The Nutcracker
The San Francisco Ballet presents 'The Nutcracker'.
On a foggy Christmas Eve, a toy maker, Drosselmeyer, puts the finishing touches to a magical nutcracker. He has made it as a gift for his relatives, the Stahlbaum family, whose home he will visit that evening.
Outside the Stahlbaum house, as people hurry home to celebrate Christmas, Drosselmeyer arrives, his gift beautifully wrapped.
"Uncle Drosselmeyer" entertains the assembled company with magic. At last Uncle Drosselmeyer opens his specially wrapped gift and presents Clara with the magical nutcracker doll he has made. Clara, delighted, dances with the nutcracker.
At the close of the evening's festivities Fritz and Clara go upstairs, and the house quietens down. Too excited to sleep, Clara tiptoes downstairs, searching for her nutcracker doll. As the clock strikes midnight, she settles on the sofa and falls asleep with her treasured doll in her arms.
Deep within her dream, Uncle Drosselmeyer magically transforms the Nutcracker into a dashing Prince. Clara and the Prince embark together on an enchanting journey through the Land of Snow. As the festivities draw to a close, Uncle Drosselmeyer grants Clara her greatest Christmas wish, transforming her into a beautiful woman so that she can dance in the arms of the Prince.
At last it is Christmas morning. Clara awakens, still smiling from her joyous dream, with the nutcracker safe in her arms.
