The opera Nutcracker originated from the fairy tale The Little Nutcracker and the Mouse King by German fairy tale writer Howe. 189 1 year, Petersburg Opera House adapted him into a ballet and invited Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky to compose music. The contents of the opera are as follows:
Little Clara's long-awaited Christmas has finally arrived. As night falls, small candles are lit on the Christmas tree, just like the trees are covered with mysterious little red fruits. Today, everything makes children happy. What excites the children most is the "Santa Claus" dressed by Uncle Tersaya. "Santa Claus" carries a big bag full of toys and walks among the children to distribute Christmas presents. Children are like a flock of birds, cheering and jumping for joy.
The excited little Clara blushed. She opened her arms and received a big bunch of presents. Ah! What a lovely nutcracker dog! She screamed. This little man is really great. Her godfather gave it to her. The other children are a little jealous. "Play for me!" "Can I have a hug?" Clara's brother Ferry mischievously snatched the nutcracker. The boys all cheered. They threw villains into the air and threw them around like balls. Shit, the little man broke it. The boys whimpered away. Little Clara cried sadly. The guests have left and the candles on the Christmas tree have been blown out. Clara tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
Late at night, only a bell rang, and many ugly mice emerged from all directions. Clara opened her eyes. A strange thing happened. The candles on the Christmas tree actually light themselves. She jumped up quickly to see her injured nutcracker little man. Stranger things happened. Many of her toys, sweets and biscuits are alive. They are fighting with mice. Although the nutcracker was injured, he led a team of toy soldiers to charge bravely. He knocked down several mice and rushed to the mouse king. The mouse king opened his fangs and pounced on him. Clara was so nervous that she used her quick wits to grab her leather shoes and throw them out. The leather shoes hit the mouse king right on the head. The mouse king rolled his eyes and fell to the ground dead. The rats were leaderless and immediately scattered.
Clara saved the nutcracker's life and the villain bowed deeply to her. Gee, Clara suddenly found that the nutcracker had become a handsome prince. She thought she was wrong, rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. Yes, the prince also said, "Thank you, dear Clara. Do you want to visit Jam Mountain? " "Jam Mountain?" Yes, it is a wonderful fairy tale kingdom. Don't you like fairy tales? "Fairy tale kingdom? That's great. Just leave? " "I'm leaving."
Clara followed the prince through the forest in winter and came to Jam Mountain in spring. The beautiful candy fairy came out with a group of delicious candy and cookies. In order to welcome the kind Clara and the prince, the candy fairy started a beautiful dance in front of the fountain. The fountain dripped pearls of water, and the flowers gave off a fragrant fragrance. Candy fairy is like a beautiful butterfly, flying in the flowers. In the warm applause, a group of toys in boots rolled out like a whirlwind. Hey, they are dancing Russian trepak. Look at their enthusiasm and jubilation. Coffee also jumped up. They hummed lullabies. A group of funny little porcelain figures danced the nifty China dance with ink. Here comes the toy shepherd boy. Their dancing is really light, just like stepping on the grass tips in the countryside. Little Mary can't help thinking of her grandmother's house in the country. All kinds of sweets are singing and dancing.
The Candy Fairy invited Clara and the Prince to join their celebration team. They danced and danced ... until Clara woke up, only to find that it was a dream.
