The Snow Queen in Vernadsky. Tickets for the circus show The Snow Queen
We arrived at the Bolshoi Circus on Vernadsky in advance. We entered the hall and immediately found ourselves on the roof! In front of us were the roofs of the houses of the fairy-tale city where Kai and Gerda lived.
I really liked the funniest and most unusual clown, Icy. The brown bears were absolutely magnificent! They performed tricks that we did not expect from the “club-footed bears”. And they were very active and artistic. Winter is over, but wouldn't it be wonderful to play in the snow with real bears? Moreover, in such huge and not at all heavy snowballs that the residents of the fairy-tale city threw at us!
Kai and Gerda's roses bloomed - red and white, and under the circus dome a beautiful rose bloomed on the gymnast's "aerial sheets". Everyone looked at this miracle with bated breath.
And then the fun began. Cheerful little white dogs ran out and quickly, dynamically, under the leadership of Kai and Gerda, showed us real circus tricks. Then Kai took a small children's bicycle, sat on it, put Gerda on it, who grabbed a small dog and made a circle around the arena to everyone's laughter. It was so much fun!
That's why Gerda went to look for a friend, because without him life would turn into an icy winter.
But there were adventures along the way. The acrobats on the pole made such masterful and unimaginable jumps that they took your breath away. We recognized them from the costumes of the courtiers and the not at all capricious princess, who turned out to be a masterly gymnast. This number was one of the coolest.
The Snow Queen also appeared and we were shown the real Northern Lights.
During the intermission, Oleg himself read the colorful program, superbly decorated with photographs of the artists, because this fall he is already going to 1st grade. We also bought a real Jedi lightsaber and popcorn, but hid it until the end of the show. Some kids were shining their swords in the dark, but we are already adults and understand that we shouldn’t interfere with others watching the performance.
In the second part, the carriage in which Gerda went in search of her friend Kai was attacked by cheerful circus robbers and torn into several parts. The leader of the robbers, the young chieftain, showed off on a beautiful white circus horse. The remaining members of the bandit gang turned out to be excellent riders, dashingly and cheerfully showing us the most difficult elements of horseback riding.
The program was so rich and varied that the children squealed with delight, and the adults felt like children for a minute. Especially when the carriage drove out and the King appeared. He walked importantly around the arena, hung his robe on a hanger, and poured himself a glass of water from the decanter.
Can't be! It was a trained chimpanzee - a sweet creature who was not averse to forgetting his royal habits and climbing up onto the table with his feet. Which pretty much surprised his valet. But we guessed that it was the trainer!
The air smelled of winter, snow and ice, and acrobats appeared in a moving ring - a very beautiful act. And very difficult.
Once again we marveled at the inexhaustible imagination and skill of the circus performers. The most surprising thing was the trained polar bears. We had no idea that they could be trained! And they turned out to be such smart and skillful artists.
The fragile girl - the trainer - looked so defenseless next to them, but they obeyed her and did the completely unthinkable - they played musical instruments, and one either clapped or conducted. We just really missed our native elements - snow and ice.
Two bears lay flat on the ice and even licked it with their long pink tongues, which greatly amused the little spectators, and the adults also looked at them with great pleasure.
At the end of the performance, Kai and Gerda met in an unusual, circus-like way. He came down to her from under the circus big top. When all the circus performers came out, we gave them a standing ovation; we really liked everything that was shown to us. The performance ended, but our Oleg did not want to leave, like the other kids. He walked and looked at photographs of circus performers in the foyer and remembered the circus fairy tale about the "Snow Queen".
On this day it was drizzling and the weather was cloudy, but we were in a festive mood. And no wonder - we saw such a wonderful, wonderful, magical performance! We returned to winter fun and met circus animals. Every trip to the Great Circus on Vernadsky is an event that will be remembered for a lifetime.
A familiar plot and breathtaking acrobatic performances will decorate the bright circus show The Snow Queen. On the eve of the New Year holidays, the Zapashny brothers and their colleagues prepared an incredible program based on the famous fairy tale for young viewers and their parents. A familiar story will open up in a new way, because it will consist of a series of mind-blowing numbers. Every year the circus delights with a bright New Year's performance, this time it is based on the well-known fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
From childhood, we all remember the story of Kai and Gerda, who grew roses and admired them. One day, fragments of a devilish mirror fall into Kai's heart and eyes, and the previously kind boy becomes unfriendly, offends Gerda and his grandmother, stops admiring roses and sees beauty in the correct geometric shape of snowflakes. In winter, the Snow Queen takes him to her kingdom, and Gerda decides to take a courageous act and goes in search of a friend. Many encounters and obstacles await her along the way, but her desire to find Kai and rescue him, her kind heart and sincere intentions will help her get out of all difficult situations. In a circus production, the fairy tale will acquire some new details, and already known ones will be shown in a new form.
Kai's flight with the Snow Queen on a sleigh, Gerda's adventures, her meetings with various heroes and other scenes will be presented in the form of exciting circus acts. Spectators can expect performances by aerialists, illusionists, animal trainers and acrobatic performances. A lot of exclusive, complex numbers have been prepared for visitors to the show, and some will make your heart skip a beat! Add to this the amazing musical accompaniment, unforgettable scenery and costumes. The large-scale circus show The Snow Queen will give you a lot of impressions and a feeling of celebration. You can order tickets for the event on our website or by calling the operator.
On December 17, 2016, the New Year’s program “The Snow Queen” starts at the arena of the Great Moscow State Circus.
Friends! Those of you who know Andersen's immortal fairy tale will meet your favorite characters. And again and again you will worry about the children who once lived in a sweet northern country, where the houses look like fairy tales, in small apartments real roses grow under the very roof, and in winter, when fluffy snow falls and snowflakes swirl like stars in a snow-white waltz, it’s so good to play on the street with friends. And again a boy named Kai will end up with the Snow Queen and remain there, enchanted by the cold, unearthly beauty. And his sworn sister named Gerda will not want to give him up to evil forces, and therefore she will set off on a journey full of dangerous adventures.

On December 17, on the eve of the New Year holidays, viewers saw for the first time the new play “The Snow Queen,” which promises to be an unprecedented circus project in terms of the number of unique acts. The Zapashny brothers and comrades move to a new level of skill with each premiere, surprising the metropolitan audience, sophisticated with spectacles.
All our circus projects are unique, they are not similar to each other,” says Edgard Zapashny, general director of the Great Moscow State Circus. - The most striking scene of this show is the number with polar bears. I should note that this is the only such attraction in the world; there are no other polar bears in circuses. And the appearance of such rare animals as chimpanzees in the arena arouses genuine interest among the public, since they are one of the most intelligent creatures on planet Earth. Children also took part in this show along with honored artists. They played without fear, they performed. The show is not at all like other projects that are currently being shown to the public. It is distinguished, first of all, by its scale and the opportunity to come to the show with the whole family. We tried to make sure that viewers of any age do not get bored.
Indeed, the unique style of the Zapashny brothers, bright images, and light plot will make not only children, but also adults enjoy the new show!
We decided to transfer the classic plot of Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen” to the arena. The director and scriptwriter for this project was Evgeny Shevtsov, said Askold Zapashny, artistic director of the Great Moscow Circus. - The Snow Queen is played by Lyudmila Titchenkova - one of the two tall sisters who took part in many of our projects. And this time we decided to use Lyudmila’s impressive height to make the Snow Queen spectacular. Kai and Gerda are played by brother and sister trainers, Oleg and Victoria Alexandrov.
From childhood, everyone remembers the story of the great Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen about Kai and Gerda, children from very poor families who loved to grow roses on the windowsill, and their friendship was truly close and sincere. At the circus on Vernadsky, this fairy tale opens up in a new way, and consists of a series of mind-blowing numbers.
This time, the arena of the Great Moscow Circus becomes a snow-covered city, whose residents are preparing for the New Year holidays. They play snowballs and make snowmen together with brown bears. The boy Kai is kidnapped by the Snow Queen and ends up in her ice castle. The brave girl Gerda goes in search of him, courageously overcoming dangers and meeting interesting characters along the way.
In the circus production, the famous fairy tale acquired new characters. For example, the Snow Queen's icy assistant appeared, whose role was brilliantly played by the clown Nikolai Kormiltsev.
Watching the performance, young spectators and their parents find themselves in a real world of wonders, where in the arena, thanks to Zoya Barkova’s paintings, a flower garden comes to life, where a smart chimpanzee becomes a prince, and robbers demonstrate their skills in horse riding and acrobatics. Each circus act is organically woven into the touching and kind story of Kai and Gerda.
Of course, the appearance of four-legged artists will cause special admiration for the children. In the show “The Snow Queen” you can see the world’s only attraction “Northern Lights” with polar bears on ice under the direction of Honored Artist of Russia Yulia Denisenko! Polar clubfoots enjoy tumbling on the ice and playing musical instruments.
Also, a group of brown bears under the leadership of Yuri Alexandrov will show their skills in the arena, horse riders - winners of the Silver Clown in Monte Carlo under the leadership of Honored Artist of Russia Yakov Eck, pole acrobats under the leadership of Honored Artist of Russia Maxim Selnikhin, trapeze gymnasts Oleg and Victoria Alexandrovs and acrobats on flip boards under the direction of Anatoly Ruban. A unique performance “Dogs on Bicycles” by Victoria Alexandrova will be shown, and the chimpanzee king Mickey will demonstrate his knowledge of palace etiquette along with his trainer Murat Khydyrov!
The circus project “The Snow Queen” is both a grandiose show, an exciting performance and a real New Year’s performance with gifts, a Christmas tree, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.
