The Snow Queen tells the tale of two young friends, Kay and Gerda. Kay catches slivers of the Snow Queen's shattered magic mirror in his eye and in his heart. Gradually, his character changes and his vision of the world becomes evil and twisted.

As Kay is spirited away to the Snow Queen's palace in the far frozen north, eternal winter descends on the village. With the help of her trusty reindeer, Gerda searches the world over to find her friend.

This fantastic journey finally takes her to the Snow Queen's Palace inhabited by her magical court of wolves, white foxes and sprites. Gerda's love for Kay releases him from the spell, the slivers of mirror fall from his eye and heart and the Snow Queen's curse of eternal winter is broken.

The Coliseum Theatre is one of London's largest and best equipped theatres, opening in 1904. It was designed by Frank Matcham.

The inaugural performance was a variety bill on 24th December 1904.

It was the creation of the most powerful theatre manager of the day, Oswald Stoll, and the foremost theatre architect, Frank Matcham. Their ambition was to build the largest and finest 'People's palace of entertainment' of its age. It was known as the London Coliseum, but became the Coliseum Theatre between 1931 and 1968 when 651 performances of the musical comedy White Horse Inn started on 8th April , 1931).

It reverted to the original name when the Sadler's Wells Opera Company (having moved from Sadler's Wells Theatre) moved to the Coliseum in 1968. The Company changed its name to the English National Opera in 1974 and bought the freehold of the building for £12.8m.

It underwent extensive renovations between 2000 and 2004 and has the widest proscenium arch in London as well as being one of the earliest to have electric lighting. It was built with a revolving stage. The theatre was host to the 2004 Royal Variety Performance in the presence of HRH the Prince of Wales.
