Ordsall Hall provides the setting this Christmas for a magical show of dance, music and magic, performed promenade-style around the audience inside the ace setting of the Tudor stately home.
Frosted by Magic by Manchester's Tangled Dance Company takes families into the enthralling world of wizards, following the Tailors, as they move from room to room, working their magic to untangle the growing roots of greed and restore the warmth of yuletide.
'Each year at Christmas one of the Tailors is called to the Sirens of Yore (Choir) to be tested' states the synopsis 'Siblings Greta and Kristoff are both young Tailors and, this Christmas, Greta has been selected to visit the Sirens. She must collect one strand of each of their voices, to produce a magical cloak.
'Greta has to resist the urge to look into the Sirens' eyes or a freezing curse will befall her and all in the land' it adds 'However, Greta cannot resist and she looks into their eyes, then steals all their voices. Her heart turns to ice, and she is poisoned with such greed and hate that she goes on to rule the land and its people very harshly. Can Kristoff steal back the powerful voices and find a way to break the spell that has been cast on his sister?'
"We're delighted to be bringing the Frosted by Magic production to Ordsall Hall for the first time" says Frosted By Magic artistic director and choreographer, Amy Hallam "The performance brings melody and movement, musicians and dancers together with Ordsall Hall, which adds an enchanting dimension to the Tailors' story . The show promises to be an unforgettable festive spectacle of magic and is perfect for all the family, young and old."
Frosted by Magic has previously been performed at Heaton Park to great acclaim from audiences, and this year Tangled Dance are accompanied by live classical musicians from MAPAS, Crumpsall Concert Band, Blackley Band, and the show will feature dance students from Salford University, Oldham College and Salford City College.
An evening of winter enchantment awaits...
