Focus-Mocus, a town's jester, and Bambino, his trained monkey, meet a brave new friend, Funtic, on their way to a New Year's Eve carnival. Funtic has just escaped from the very powerful and evil woman Belladonna who abused his talents for her personal gains.

This Classika holiday tradition is an original adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffman's story, virtually unknown to the American audience; it unveils the magical mystery of why the prince was turned into the Nutcracker. The breathtaking music of Peter Tchaikovsky combined with the magic of Classika's amazing puppets and live actors creates a holiday splendor that your entire family will enjoy together.
