This Christmas story is based on The Nutcracker and The Mouse King written by E.T.A Hoffmann. It

doll as a present on Christmas Eve. This doll then turns into a Prince, and the magic begins.
This ballet has captured the imagination of many generations over the years and continues to attract
audiences worldwide. A captivating story full of mystery and romance.
