The Snow Queen

"The Snow Queen2 is Hans Abrahamsen’s first opera, composed to a self-penned libretto, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s eponymous fairy tale. "Without exaggeration a spectacular musical theatre experience", wrote the Munich Abendzeitung following the premiere of the opera at the Bayerische Staatsoper in December 2019. Barbara Hannigan, who played a crucial role in inspiring Abrahamsen to compose the opera, sang the role of Gerda accompanied by a top-class ensemble of singers. Director Andreas Kriegenburg’s production of "The Snow Queen" is a touching story by adults, for an adult audience, offering a journey into the innermost regions of the human soul.
