pioneer Natalya Sats' ambition was both to create new productions
specifically
aimed at a younger audience, and to present the classics in a way that
made
them accessible to young people. Her
pioneering style is the basis of most children’s
entertainment to this
day. Once Upon
a Time includes
scenes from the brand
new ballet Snow Maiden, never before seen in the “Fadeyev’s fantasy is like fireworks!” wrote the Russian press. "The ballet Snow Maiden is one of those rare productions, where all the elements – music, stage design, costumes, dance monologues and dialogues, ensembles and mass scenes-- are in harmony, creating a beautifully wholesome image of a real-life, fairytale world... it offers something for both adults and children, making it attractive as a family production that feeds minds and souls of audiences of all ages."
