Snow Queen

December 20-22

Visual & Performing Arts Center (VPAC)

Cupertino 

Inspired by one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved fairytales, Snow Queen will warm your hearts and add magic to this holiday season!

 

Visually captivating and viscerally touching, this story ballet celebrates friendship, love and courage. When the Snow Queen's spell captures Kai, his sister, Gerda sets out on a quest to save him. Follow Gerda's  journey as her heart leads her through the deep waters of a magical river, an enchanted flower garden, a spectacular palace, a forest filled with robbers, and the gleaming world of snow and ice that surrounds the Snow Queen's ice castle.
