Imagine opening an old, beautifully illustrated book and its characters leaping out onto the city streets. That's exactly what our parade will be – a moving story that brings to life ETA Hoffmann's original fairy tale and the most beautiful scenes from classical ballet.

We invite you to the world of little Clara, where clocks have faces and toys come to life after dark. Watch as the brave Nutcracker, transformed into a prince, leads his army of wooden soldiers into battle against the seven-headed Mouse King and his army of mice. There will be flags, drums, and battle cries!
