On Christmas Eve, Marie receives a nutcracker and a magical dancing figurine from her mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer. The house is aglow with lights, and the air is filled with the scent of fir and cinnamon. Falling asleep under the Christmas tree with the Nutcracker in her hands, Marie is transported into a fairy-tale dream: the tree grows to the heavens, the clock stops, and the toys come to life, transforming into the heroes of a magical story…

 

The show takes place on artificial ice, an eco-friendly material that does not require freezing. New artificial ice technologies.
