Snow Queen

K-HNK: In co-production with the Croatian National Theater in Osijek

Snow Queen, Andersen's well-known fairy tale, will come to life on the CNT Split stage in November 2024.

Snow Queen

The well-known Andersen fairy tale about the Snow Queen, the girl Gerda, and her friend, about the immense power of friendship and love stronger than the arrows of all icy mirrors, has been brilliantly set to music by the simultaneously sparkling, musically smooth and virtuoso Davor Bobić. He composed a ballet with seven scenes that will immerse us without hesitation in childhood emotion, in a time when we still, untouched by time and life, believed in the goodness and happy endings of all adventures.

Like the mythical Nutcracker, Bobić's Snow Queen could become a synonym for the holiday season, an atmosphere where we joyfully rush into the new, shaping it with our own decisions and strength. It is choreographed and directed by Svebor Sečak.
