Product Information

The balloon lands beside the puppet theatre. Dancers from all over the world come to life and leap out of the theatre. The Mouse King is finally vanquished by the heroic nephew and a magnificent celebration begins. The dancers perform divertissements. The puppet theatre disappears to reveal a beautiful garden, amongst which dancers perform the Waltz of the Flowers. Finally, Clara dances a glorious pas de deux as the Sugar Plum Fairy with the Nephew as the Prince. They are joined by all the characters from around the world.

But it has traditionally excluded some dancers with its mantra of uniformity.
