Act 1
One hundred years ago, in a small town in Germany, friends and relatives came to Dr. Stolbaum's home to celebrate Christmas Eve. The guests were all in high spirits when they entered Dr. Stolbaum's living room. The doctor's two children, Clara and Frith, are even more excited. Clara is a little shy and a little girl full of fantasies. On the other hand, Frith is a naughty boy. Sometimes they quarrel and their parents come out to mediate, but tonight they are very close and praise a Christmas tree in the corner of the living room with one voice.
People exchange Christmas presents with each other. The children are playing with their new toys, and the girls are doing well. The boys quarreled and their parents finally calmed them down. At this moment, a new guest came. He is Clara's godfather, Du Simi. He is an old man, but his skillful hands like magic can play endless tricks. He is a watchmaker and the inventor of various mechanical devices. This time he brought some of his new inventions, which turned out to be several life-size dolls. As soon as these dolls are wound, they can dance, jump and turn. Everyone likes old Dusimir, but they also think he is mysterious. He gave Clara a strange gift-a nutcracker shaped like a villain. This gift seems strange to a little girl, but Clara fell in love with it. When Fries saw it, she wanted to keep it for herself. He pulled him out of Clara's hand and broke it in the struggle. Clara was very sad, but Dusimir reassembled it and wiped away tears for Clara.
The last dance music announced the end of the party. The guests left one after another, and Stolbaum's two children were put to bed. But Clara can't sleep. She crept down the stairs to see her nutcracker. She hugged her tightly in her arms and curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
The big clock in the living room struck midnight and Clara woke up. How strange the living room looks in the dark! The floor was littered with evil shadows, and Clara even imagined herself seeing Dusimir on the clock face. Suddenly, a large group of mice came into the room, ugly, hateful and frightening mice. They ran around and started attacking Clara. Just then, Dusimir suddenly appeared. He told Clara that the nutcracker could protect her from harm, and then he disappeared. Suddenly, the nutcracker came alive, and the whole room was filled with magical brilliance. The Christmas tree began to grow tall and long until the little stars on the treetops penetrated the ceiling. The nutcracker led a group of toy soldiers to join the battle with the mouse king and all the mice, but they were defeated by the fierce mice. Clara picked up a sword and rushed at the mouse king angrily, stabbing it to death. The mice took their king, leaving Clara and her crippled, lifeless nutcracker. A miracle suddenly appeared. The nutcracker has come back to life, but it is no longer a toy. He became a handsome prince and promised to take Clara to a magical kingdom.
Clara and her prince came to the snowy pine forest. A group of snow fairies floated around her, and the prince and Snow Queen performed a wonderful duet. Clara was intoxicated and she followed the prince on.
