DOHA: Katara is presenting internationally acclaimed ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ classic ballet from March 23 to 25 at Katara Opera House.
The series of shows free to the public are dedicated to children. 
The story follows Princess Snow White fleeing into the bewitched forest after her stepmother tries to kill her and encounters seven midgets and the prince who eventually marries her.
Katara General Manager, Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti, said Katara’s hosting of the ballet comes within its strategy to diversify performances it offers to the public and bring internationally renowned works.
Since the ballet production of Snow White 30 years ago, no ballet performance for children has reached this fresh look. 
The dance parts of the ballet are distinguished by imagination and innovation and although the theme of the ballet is about a fairy tale, choreography with the impressive solo acts and dynamic scenes of corps de ballet evoke admiration of audiences of all ages.
The show is presented through the vision of producer, Demitry Tchirbagy, who produced more than 40 dramas, ballets and operas during his professional career. 
It features Moscow’s Theatre Ballet Moskva presenting eight performances around the world every year.
There will be two shows from 4pm to 5pm and 7pm to 8pm.
