ABOUT THE BALLET

The Snow Queen, Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale, this ballet is a tale about friendship and love.  The powerful Snow Queen and her imps break a magic mirror that sends shards of evil ice all over the world.  Gerta and Kai are best friends living peacefully in their village, having grown up amongst their family and friends.  But when one of the shards of ice lodges in Kai’s eye, the Snow Queen steals Kai away to her castle of ice and snow.  Missing her dear friend, Gerta sets out upon the treacherous journey to find and rescue him.
