The Snow Queen: Patrick Cardy’s Musical Tale Shows The Expressive and Playful Qualities of Music.
On stage in the theatre of the Museum of Civilisation this weekend, the whole family can enjoy a special musical and theatrical treat. Actor Alon Nashman (the hit of the 2008 Ottawa Fringe Festival with his monologue Kafka and Son,) is on stage with the award winning Cecilia String quartet performing composer Patrick Cardy’s musical tale based on Hans Christian Anderson’s version of The Snow Queen. I have just seen the final dress rehearsal in the theatre, where the acoustics are excellent by the way, and the effect of the event is quite overwhelming.
