The Snow Queen

Aerin Holt presents THE SNOW QUEEN in association with California Contemporary Ballet celebrating our 20th Anniversary!

Experience the magic of the Snow Queen, the creator of Winter wind and snow. Based on the original story by Hans Christian Andersen, this Wintertime tale can’t be missed!

Bring the entire family to experience the adventures of young Gerda as she persists to save her best friend Kai. Meet the Enchantress, Gypsy Girl, Gypsy Boy, the Crows and enjoy the Prince and Princess as they perform a grand pas de deux. Open yourself to the world of the Snow Queen as she reverses an old tragedy and brings tears of joy to an entire village.

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

Featuring an integrated cast of professional career dancers, highly trained youth company talent and community performers, with an extraordinary blend of aerial arts, gymnastics and a rich variety of classical ballet and contemporary dance that spin the emotional story to its surprising and delightful conclusion. From the most distinguished Princess to the tiniest Snowflake, the 2017 cast performs with power and passion.

Supported by the efforts of hundreds of community volunteers, the Snow Queen, now in its 20th season, has become the newest ballet tradition. Allow California Contemporary Ballet to give you a memorable and moving experience as they take you on a journey and transform you to the inner realm of The Snow Queen.
