Go on a magical journey with the world famous Russian Ice Stars as they bring to life the much loved fairy tale, Snow White.

The Opera House stage will be transformed into a frozen wonderland that has to be seen to be believed, making this a unique theatrical experience.

In a spell-binding show that is both lavish and spectacular, the story of a beautiful girl, her Prince Charming and an enchanted mirror comes to life in a stunningly choreographed piece that dazzles with its sheer beauty and elegance.

Snow White is a full length ballet performed on ice. The show combines gymnastics, aerial aerobatics, full stage sets and a wonderful score by Silvio Amato to create a breathtaking and mesmerising experience the whole family can enjoy.
