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.

Meet the Enchantress, Gypsy Girl, Gypsy Boy, Crows and enjoy the Prince and Princess as they perform a grand pas de deux.
