THE SNOW QUEEN
Beaulieu 16 December 2022 to 2 Jan 2023
The Snow Queen
Wrap up warm and immerse yourself in the classic winter tale of The Snow Queen, with festive cheer, comedy and live music in the open-air performances in the stunning setting of Beaulieu Abbey.
A magical walk-around production beneath the stars, with mulled wine and mince pies to keep away the winter’s chill, let the world-class cast of West End actors lead you on a route around the Abbey ruins, as they tell Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, as part of a heart-warming show that all the family will love.
The Snow Queen is a myth that has evolved down the centuries and it’s a wonderful quest story. Gerda, the heroine, goes on a quest to find her friend Kai, who has been kidnapped by the Snow Queen. The quest fits beautifully into the setting, because it’s a promenade show. So as Gerda goes off on her journey, the audience are physically going off on the journey with her. Wrap up like you’re going on a winter walk for an hour and come here, where you can have mulled wine and keep moving to keep warm.
The performances took place every day at 2.30pm, 4pm and 5.30pm until 2nd January 2023, excluding Christmas Day.
