The Snow Queen is ballet on a grand scale; the magical costumes sparkle with Swarovski crystals and, together with Prokofiev’s glorious music, create a glittering, magical spectacle.
English National Ballet’s 64 dancers bring this wintry fairy tale to life as young friends Kay and Gerda battle against the evil Snow Queen and her magic mirror.
Gerda's Scandinavian journey takes her beyond her familiar rustic village and into the Snow Queen's world of sprites, wolves and white foxes; join her as she battles gypsies and the Artic cold to save her true love, Kay.
The Snow Queen is Michael Corder's third new work for English National Ballet, previous affiliations, Cinderella and Melody on the Move, were both critically acclaimed.
The Snow Queen runs for two hours and 45 minutes including two intervals.
