The Nutcracker Ballet Tickets

Celebrate this holiday season with a timeless classic and don’t miss out on getting The Nutcracker tickets this year, as this is one performance that the entire family can enjoy. The ballet was originally composed by Tchaikovsky and is based on the short story by E.T.A. Hoffman, which is entitled The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and was published in 1816. The two-act ballet was first staged in the late 1800s. Now, it’s perhaps one of the most famous productions to be performed during the holidays. The story is set on Christmas Eve during a family’s holiday get-together.

When the party begins, presents are given out to the children and young Clara receives a nutcracker from her godfather, who is also a magician. Then, Clara’s jealous brother breaks her precious toy. Heartbroken, Clara retreats to bed, where she dreams up a fantasy involving the Nutcracker Prince, an army of mice, toy soldiers, and of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy.
