To those unaware of what the iconic The Nutcracker is, it is a ballet show inspired by the short story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E. T. A. Hoffmann. The story follows a family gathering on Christmas Eve. As the celebration continues through the night, Drosselmeyer comes and brings gifts to the children, including four lifelike moving dolls. To the dismay of the children, especially the siblings Clara and Fritz, the dolls were not given to them. Instead, the siblings were given a nutcracker in the shape of a man, which Clara instantly liked. That night did not end there for Clara, as after her family went to bed, she sneaked back to the parlor to see her precious nutcracker. To her surprise, she encountered something truly magical. The end of The Nutcracker varies for every production. To know how the story continues and what the ending of Rio Grande Valley Ballet's Nutcracker will be, head to the McAllen Performing Arts Center this December 10. Buy your tickets now!
