The Ancram Opera House will present a new music-theatre adaptation of The Snow Queen, the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, in a staged concert in December, with book and lyrics by Barbara Wiechmann, music by Lisa Dove, and direction by Jeffrey Mousseau. This production hews closely to the original 1884 story: a magic mirror distorts the good and beautiful into the bad and ugly, a boy is kidnapped by the icy-hearted Snow Queen, and a girl journeys barefoot through the world to rescue him. Not recommended for children younger than nine. Children attend free.
