Matthew Bourne used the original score by Tchaikovsky - he says that it is the music that draws him to make the works he does.
The Nutcracker has nothing at all to do with Christ.
It is a coming of age story. Clara falls in love with the Nutcracker but he seems to have eyes for Sugar! Act 2 is all about Clara trying to get into the wedding. The ending is, of course, a happy one with true love conquering all & Clara changes from a girl to a woman!
yes there is harp in the Nutcracker. There are small pieces of harp in almost all the numbers
If you're new to contemporary dance I suggest you look at works by Christopher Bruce (Swan Song, Ghost Dances, Rooster are all good to start with) and for a light hearted piece try Matthew Bournes' Nutcracker!. If you like your art a bit more abstract try Richard Alston's Overdrive. If you like something darker & more theatrical try DV8 - Dead Dreams of Monochrome Men is very disturbing! Or Vtol (if you can get their stuff on Video or DVD) Hope you find something you like!
