Kai and Gerda are summertime kids, but the Snow Queen brings a world of winter, piercing Kai’s eyes and heart with ice shards. Gerda must brave soldiers, bandits, witches, and the Queen’s arctic wrath to rescue her friend before they’re iced out of the goodness within their own hearts forever. Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale receives a deliciously simple and elegant musical treatment that reminds us of what’s beautiful in ourselves and in one another. … a smart, artful chamber folk opera. It will dazzle you.–Talk Theatre
