We went to The Nutcracker ballet in Adelaide, so after dinner on Peter’s birthday Isaac and Nathan organised this performance. They had spent the day preparing the props and reminding us of our parts.
Luke Page - Uncle Drosselmeyer
Uncle Drosselmeyer comes to the party and gives Clara the Nutcracker doll.
Leah Page - Clara
Toys dancing
At midnight the toys around the tree come to life and dance.
Isaac - Nutcracker, Nathan - soldier, Peter - Mouse King
The Nutcracker leads the soldiers in a battle with the mouse army.
The death scene
The Mouse King and the Nutcracker battle but the Mouse King is too strong. The Mouse King is then killed when Clara throws her shoe.
Clara in the sleigh
The Nutcracker turns into a prince and takes Clara to the Land of Snow where they watch the dance of the snowflakes.
The final dance
He then takes her to the Land of Sweets where they eat food and watch dances from different countries.
When Clara wakes up all the toys are around the Christmas tree.
The performers bow to long and loud applause
Linda
