The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Set in the 1940s, the ballet begins when four siblings, Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, visit the Old Professor and discover an empty room with a large wardrobe. Young Lucy opens the wardrobe door and steps in; her brother Edmund follows her and they find themselves in a wintery forest of another world. A series of adventures begin that include an umbrella-carrying faun, an evil White Witch, a beaver couple, a kind-hearted lion, and myriad other characters. They, along with the siblings, engage in a mystical battle of good over evil. Although the White Witch traps Narnia in a seemingly endless winter, the promise of spring arriving brings beauty and hope to the holiday season.
