The enchanting performance based on the wonderful fairy tale of the same name by the famous Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, told by professional artists in the language of dance, will be accompanied by the symphony orchestra of Astana Ballet Theatre.
The story of the Snow Queen and the brave Gerda, familiar from childhood, will be told with modern choreography, in which good triumphs over evil, where the audience is convinced that there is real strength hidden in a loving heart. This is a story about true love and friendship, about how loyalty and a warm heart will help to melt cold ice and break evil spells.
By the power of the magical art of dance, images familiar from childhood come to life on stage. They are recognisable, although they appear in a different frame: this ballet reveals new facets of fairytale characters, weaving a bright world of colours, music and movements into one magical canvas. This is the eternal and beautiful mystery of art.
