Christian @ Christmas ballet The Little Snow Girl

Crown Prince Frederik has taken Prince Christian to see his grandmother's handiwork at Susanne Heering's Ballet School's annual production in Copenhagen yesterday. Queen Margrethe has designed costumes, sets and posters for her long time friend's annual productions for more than 28 years. The production is often of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, but this year there is a departure so Christian saw a Russian fairytale, The Little Snow Girl, set to music by Russian composers.
