This is a two-act performance staged by choreographer Maxim Sevagin, in which the entire ballet troupe takes part. The source of inspiration for the narrative line was the fairy tale of the same story by Hans Christian Andersen, and as a musical basis — parts from the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Symphonies by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. So the director continues the traditions of the theater and choreographer Vladimir Burmeister, who staged the original ballet 'The Snow Maiden' in 1961 based on a fairy tale by Alexander Ostrovsky and the author's score from Tchaikovsky's musical works.
'You won't see any Kokoshniks,' says Uldus about the upcoming project, 'but the hats and especially complex hairstyles are very important. There are a lot of costumes, and there is not a single one that is simple from a technical point of view. I took graphicity as a basis. In the play, all the characters are black and white, but there are also five strong accent colors, these colors make up 20% in costumes.'
You can see the results on November 24, 25 and 26 — during the premiere of the 'Snow Queen'.
