The Snow QueenImages of C.S. Lewis's White Witch spring to mind at the mention of The Snow Queen and these two fantastical characters are not a million miles apart. In fact, they could be sisters and probably inhabit the exact same frosty land where it is forever winter and they can work their evil spells over innocent children. If this frosty fairy tale, returning to the London Coliseum for just 12 performances, all sounds a bit nightmarish after Christmas, never fear; in Hans Christian Andersen's story good will prevail in the end. The plot goes that young Kay's heart turns bad when he catches a sliver of the Snow Queen's mirror in his eye. He is captivated by her beauty and heads off to her palace in the far frozen north before you can say "rescue mission". Luckily Kay's friend Gerda is waiting in the wings with a reindeer (it is the festive season after all) to break the spell. Add 67 dancers, the English National Ballet's full orchestra, and a sprinkling of fairy dust and you've got a spectacular post-Christmas production.

The only performance open to children under five is at 2.30pm on 14th January. All under 16s go free and every two children must be
accompanied by an adult.
 

About London Coliseum - English National Opera (ENO)

London Coliseum is a magnificent historic building and an excellent venue in which to enjoy the soaring sounds and high drama of some truly thrilling operas. This impressive theatre, which started its life as a venue for variety shows, is now - conversely - indistinguishable from its artistically first-class company in residence, the English National Opera.
