“ONE OF THE BEST HOLIDAY SHOWS!”
The Nutcracker is one of the country’s favorite Christmas events, and one of the most performed ballets in the world with productions taking place each Christmas in London, New York City, and right here in St. Cloud Minnesota
The story of the Nutcracker was originally written by E.T.A. Hoffmann, however, the beautiful score which accompanies this world-famous ballet was created by Tchaikovsky and received its debut over 100 years ago in 1892. An evening spent at a performance of this enchanting Holiday classic by Stroia Dance Studios is the perfect way to welcome the Christmas season with the whole family!
Mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer gifts a magical Nutcracker toy to his goddaughter, Clara Stahlbaum. As the clock strikes midnight, the Nutcracker comes to life and battles the Queen Mouse and her evil band of mice. Clara and the Nutcracker travel to the wonderous Land of Sweets, where the Queen Mouse is defeated and all the land celebrates with beautiful dancing, culminating with the performance of the iconic Sugar Plum Fairy.
This is our most anticipated performance of the season, don’t miss your opprotunity to be a part of this magical holiday tradtition.
With sold out shows every year.
