Varna International Ballet: Snow White

Varna International Ballet performs Snow White at Edinburgh Playhouse on Saturday 16 January 2027. This is an afternoon ballet, with a 2:30pm start, and a separate production from the theatre’s pantomimes or Disney stage shows.

The familiar fairytale is told through classical dance and an orchestral score. The Edinburgh stop is a single matinee, so this is the performance date to use when planning a visit.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

The company’s production takes the jealousy, danger, and eventual hope of Snow White and turns them into a full ballet. Its published music selection draws on Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Pugni, and Grieg, so audiences should expect a sequence of classical pieces rather than songs from an animated film.

Varna International Ballet tours with an orchestra. The official production credits name Sergei Bobrov as artistic director and Filippo Dessi as conductor. That combination makes this a good choice for someone who wants the story in a traditional ballet setting, with dancers and live musical accompaniment.

Tickets and Getting There

The matinee takes place at Edinburgh Playhouse on Greenside Place, close to Picardy Place. The Picardy Place tram stop and Edinburgh Waverley Station are both within walking distance; allow time for the uphill walk from Waverley.

Tickets are available through the official event page. Check the current seating plan and any age guidance before booking, especially if you are arranging a family visit. The date shown here is for Snow White; Varna International Ballet also has other titles on its Edinburgh itinerary.
