Product Details
The Orchestra Story The Nutcracker follows Clara on a magical Christmas adventure in this musical retelling of The Nutcracker ballet utilizing “push the button” on each beautiful scene to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky’s score. The Orchestra Story The Nutcracker begins on Christmas Eve at Clara’s house. Scents of ginger, chocolate, and peppermint waft through the air. Clara’s parents are having a party, and her little brother Fritz is decorating the Christmas tree. Clara’s godfather, a toymaker, arrives with gifts, including a very special one for her—a wooden nutcracker carved in the shape of a little man. After Fritz breaks it, the children are sent to bed.
As you and your little one journey with Clara through the magical dream scenes, you press the buttons to hear 10 excerpts from the ballet’s music, including “The Waltz of the Flowers,” “The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” “The Russian Dance,” and the awesome “Finale.” At the back of The Orchestra Story The Nutcracker there is a short biography of the composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, with details about his composition of The Nutcracker ballet. The Orchestra Story The Nutcracker brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores.
