The ballet Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, written by Hungarian composer
Tibor Kocsák in collaboration with choreographer Gyula Harangozó, brought its
creators worldwide fame. The production has been shown 120 times at the
Hungarian State Opera, the Erkel Theatre and the Open-Air Festival in Szeged. It
is one of the most frequently staged ballets of our time, which successfully
represents the national culture of Hungary in countries such as Estonia, Russia,
Finland, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau.

The Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is probably
known to all children. This is a story about a beautiful orphan princess and an evil
stepmother who often asks the mirror who is the most beautiful woman in the
world. Jealousy for the grown-up Snow White pushes the queen to do evil – she
orders the servant to kill the girl in the forest, but the princess manages to hide in
the dwarf’s house. Who and how will save Snow White from her stepmother's
persecution, children (and adults too) will learn from the ballet-fairy tale about
good and evil, trustfulness, purity and true love.
