The Story Of Snow White
The Story Of Snow White
The ballet follows Snow White, a princess whose beauty enrages her vain and wicked stepmother, the Queen. When a magical Mirror confirms Snow White’s beauty surpasses her own, the Queen orders a Huntsman to kill her. He spares Snow White, who flees into the forest and finds refuge with the Seven Dwarfs. Warned not to trust strangers, she is tricked by the Queen—disguised as an old beggar—into eating a poisoned apple. Believed dead, she is mourned until a Prince’s kiss revives her. Enraged, the Queen’s final spell backfires, trapping her in her own reflection forever.
