The story of Gerda and Kay unfolds as a fabulous tale of loyalty, weaving subtle mysteries into its plot, symbols, and conveying a lesson about the indomitable power and strength of the heart and kindness. The Snow Queen can enchant with her "sparkle magic," enthralling the little boy into the cold spell of reason and intelligence, but his faithful companion alone, barefoot, bravely faces every danger and obstacle to save and reclaim him.
According to the laws of the fairy tale, Gerda always has helpers: a kind-hearted pair of crows, a noble king and princess, a robber girl, a flying reindeer with magical abilities, and a wise old lady. When the girl reaches the cold palace chamber of the Snow Queen, she can only break the icy shackles on the boy's heart with the hot power of his tears.
This colorful, intricate tale, crafted with the simplicity of naivety, belongs among Andersen's most beautiful writings.

Starting: 9:30 and 11:00
