Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

Some of the best figure skaters of the early '80s, including Dorothy Hamill and Toller Cranston gather to present this beautiful, balletic version of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of a young maiden who bravely faces the fearsome ice-hearted Snow Queen in order to free her beloved. The story is set to the music of Mussorgsky, Glazunov and Rimsky-Korsakov. Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux provided the skaters' choreography.
