A modern take on the story of Snow White, replete with all well-known characters — the miners, the wicked stepmother, the witch, and of course the prince — with a decidedly more gripping, psychological, creative approach.

From this classic fairy tale inspired by the Brothers’ Grimm, French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj has crafted a visually stunning contemporary ballet. With its aerial scenes, mature narrative and edgy costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier, this show is far from a children’s story.

Snow White Ottawa Tour

National Arts Centre

Experience the Canadian première of this mature twist on the original Brothers’ Grimm story of Snow White. Step into an enchanted narrative filled with strong, contemporary movement and characters magnificently costumed by Jean Paul Gaultier. The narcissistic, seductive Queen seeks power in her beauty and will stop at nothing to hold on to that influence – even at the expense of her ingenue daughter-in-law Snow White. Set to Gustav Mahler’s symphonies, Snow White’s journey through the stages of her life mirrors the music’s evolution from optimism to depravity and finally to triumph.
