The Snow Queen Ballet 2010

Once upon a time, there was a wicked magician. He fashioned a mirror with the power to create all that was good and beautiful when it was reflected within, to look mean and wicked. Alas, the unthinkable happened… the mirror was shattered into a million tiny pieces, swept up by the wind, and spread throughout the land; affecting the unsuspecting townsfolk. The Snow Queen, creator of the winter wind and snow, was also profoundly affected, as the tiny slivers of mirror lodged into her very soul. Dark times soon followed…

Welcome to California Contemporary Ballet’s The Snow Queen, a magical ballet and an incredible tale of the now jealous and cold hearted Snow Queen and two dear friends torn apart by her wrath.

Embark on the incredible journey and meet the fascinating characters who bring the classic tale to life. Meet the Enchantress, Gypsy Girl, Gypsy Boy, Crows and enjoy the Prince and Princess as they perform a grand pas de deux. Experience the thrill of perilous obstacles, rejoice in the celebration of a town freed at last from the mirror’s evil spell, and follow the journey to its surprising finale.

12a8401fceafd00d22f483ba22cef05a Performed by a professional principal cast, the stellar career dancers of California Contemporary Ballet supported and accompanied by the California Contemporary Youth Ballet members who train and perform at the highest caliber. The entire company of dancers performs with remarkable power and passion making a bold statement on stage that transforms you to another world- the world of The Snow Queen.

Brought to life by the creative vision of the company's Artistic Director and choreographer, Erin Holt, the Snow Queen ballet is presented complete with brilliant lighting and set design, custom hand sewn costumes, an original moving musical score by Randall Michael Tobin.

Already a hit with its seasonal performances, California Contemporary Ballet’s tale of goodness vs. evil by Hans Christian Andersen has become a winter-time classic which you will surely fall in love with. The Snow Queen Ballet is redefining its genre; it’s a must see! Allow California Contemporary Ballet to give you a memorable and moving experience as they take you on a journey to the   inner realm of the Snow Queen.
