The magic of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece comes to life on the Imperial stage as the Columbia County Ballet sets this Christmas classic to dance. The Nutcracker is the story of Clara, a young girl who dreams of toy soldiers battling giant mice and a Nutcracker doll who comes to life in time to save her. The Nutcracker then transforms into a handsome Prince and takes her on a journey. Clara and her Prince travel through a land of snow and into the Kingdom of Sweets where they meet the Sugar Plum fairy.
