The Snow Queen, a classic fairytale for all

Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairytale is brought to life in this new ballet full of magical characters and sumptuous designs

From the bustle of the winter’s market, to the shivers of a fairytale forest, take a journey to the Snow Queen’s icy palace. Along the way you’ll meet a colourful cast of characters, from young lovers parted by a spell, to a circus ringmaster with a few tricks up his sleeve.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale of love and friendship, this glittering production is sure to delight the whole family.
