The Grand Kyiv Ballet has prepared a new Christmas ballet called “The Snow Queen,” based on the world famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
This romantic story is set to the music of Edvard Grieg, Jules Massenet, Mozart and Vivaldi. The Snow Queen will be an unforgettable night for adults and children alike.
With an amazing cast of characters that includes Handsome Kai, robbers, forest fairies, a funny Snowman, fabulous trolls and, of course, brave & beautiful Gerda.
The story opens with Kai and Gerda sitting in their garden among roses when a shard of a witch’s mirror gets into Kai’s eye. His heart becomes hard and cold. One winter day a whirlwind of snow rises around him and he disappears. He is taken by the Snow Queen who lives in a world of ice and snow.
Gerda goes in search of Kai. There are many challenges ahead. But love helps her get through them and free Kai from the spell of the Snow Queen.
