The Snow Maiden //
15 Feb

Swan Lake // 17 Feb

The greatest romantic ballet of all time
is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s
haunting and unforgettable score. From
the impressive splendour of the Palace
ballroom to the moon-lit lake where
swans glide in perfect formation, this
compelling tale of tragic romance has it
all. From Odile, the temptress in black
tulle, as she seduces the Prince by
spinning with captivating precision to the
spellbound purity of the swan queen, to
Odette, as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odile/
Odette is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical challenges.

Protected from the outside
world by Father Frost, the
exquisite Snow Maiden
plays innocently amongst
the dancing snowflakes
in the enchanted Land of
Frost. Based on a traditional
folk-tale, set in the snow
covered landscape of rural Russia, this seasonal sparkler follows the
Snow Maiden as she dances into the human world. Captivated by the
colourful village and the people who live there, she ventures too far
and is swept up by feelings of love, temptation and betrayal. When
finally she surrenders herself completely and warms to that love, her
heart melts in a tragic embrace.

The Owl Who Was Afraid of
the Dark // 17 Feb

Plop is a baby Barn Owl. He lives
at the top of a tall tree in a field.
He is fat and fluffy. He has big
round eyes and very knackety
knees. Plop is exactly the same
as every barn owl that has ever
been - except for one thing. Plop
is AFRAID of the DARK. One day,
Mr Barn Owl suggests that Plop
fly down into the world and find
out about the dark for himself. So,
Plop climbs out of his nest-hole, peeps over the edge, wobbles a bit,
and falls off his branch. And this is where Plop’s adventure begins...
