Snow Queen Ballet

Danish author Hans Christian Andersen wrote many highly acclaimed and beloved fairy tales in his day like The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina and The Ugly Duckling, but The Snow Queen is one of his most-loved winter classics. Adapted into a dance production by Ukraine’s Grand Kyiv Ballet, the wondrous, wintry tale is set to the music of Edvard Grieg, Jules Massenet, Mozart and Vivaldi. It features cherished characters like Kai, the Snowman, Gerda and, of course, the fierce Snow Queen, all dancing in time in front of a beautiful set. Experience the touching tale of family, love and holiday joy performed by the company’s impressive soloists and principal dancers.
