THE SNOW QUEEN Music by Edvard Grieg adapted by King Palmer, book and lyrics by Winifred Palmer; based on the story by Hans Andersen. SYNOPSIS A delightful fairy-story by Hans Andersen and the well loved music of Grieg make an inspired combination. Gerdas search for her lost brother Karl involves many strange adventures and encounters with magical characters, but the youngsters triumph in the end over the villainies of the Hobgoblin and the icy machinations of the beautiful Snow Queen. A short (one hour and three quarters) but enchanting musical play. MUSICAL NUMBERS ACT I Prelude. SCENE 1.
