...except Clara) grows to a monstrous size, the nutcracker comes to life and leads the toy soldiers into battle against the mice. With a little help from Clara, he defeats the mouse king and is transformed by Drosselmeyer into a handsome prince. After a lovely interlude in a snowy forest, Clara and her nutcracker travel in a magic balloon to the Kingdom of Sweets, where they are greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier and regaled by an array of exotic divertissements, ending with a beautiful pas de deux by their hosts...
