Doorman, The

Snow Queen

The dark and complex tale of The Snow Queen is brought to life this winter in a stunning and magical mix of music and song, animation and 'live' drama. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale, the adaptation features performances set against striking animated backgrounds, with songs and music composed by Paul K Joyce and performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The story is about how innocence and love, in the shape of the heroine Gerda, can overcome the evil power of the the Snow Queen. The tale takes us on a journey through the Enchanted Flower Garden, on a flight through the Northern Lights and into the palace of the Snow Queen herself - a figure powerful enough to 'tie all the winds of the world together'. We meet talking flowers, the helpful raven and reindeer, the Finland woman and the Lapland woman, a band of robbers and a whole royal family. And finally Gerda's tears bring the hero, Kay, back to warmth and life and Spring returns to the countryside. Throughout we are reminded that splinters of an ancient, broken, enchanted looking glass are in the air around us waiting to fly into an unsuspecting eye, like Kay's, and turn a good heart to a lump of ice - and a good person into a gift for the Snow Queen...
