Description
Encourage an appreciation for classical music with this CD by Maestro Classics.
It’s Christmas eve and Clara and Fritz’s parents are throwing their annual holiday party. The mysterious guest, the toymaker Herr Drosselmeyer, arrives with life-size dancing dolls to entertain the family and their guests, but he saves his most special gift for his god-daughter Clara, a nutcracker doll. That night, the tree begins to grow, the toy soldiers and the Mouse King have a battle, and Clara’s nutcracker turns into a handsome prince. This child-friendly adaptation of the complete ballet score is given a beautiful retelling of the story by Jim Weiss, America’s premiere storyteller.
Includes a 24-page activity booklet.
